Foothills Community Christian School

The statement of Faith is fundamental to basic Christian tenets and
contains those Doctrines to which we unreservedly adhere and teach. In order
to maintain a clear non-denominational position it is necessary that we remind
faculty, staff, parents and student that certain areas are left primarily to the
teacher of the home and church.

We desire to remain united in the salvation and love of Christ, avoiding
the dissension that may be caused by denominational distinctives. The goals of
Foothills are to (1) provide an atmosphere where the Bible topics can be
discussed freely and openly, where differences will be tolerated and accepted,
even though we disagree. Equally, it is our responsibility to (2) teach the
fundamental truths of God's Word in an authoritative way to impress the
importance of these truths. Finally, we wish to (3) strive for unity in such a way
that the unsaved community around us sees the love of God in our lives and
give us the opportunity to share God's Word with them.

Bible Classes

Bible is to be an integral part of the overall curriculum and purpose of our
school. For this reason, Bible classes are required of all students. Bible
verses, on an age appropriate level, will be included in the class lessons.
Foothills has chosen the New King James Version of the Bible as the
classroom version. This decision is made only on the basis of class drill and for
testing purposes. Because of the importance of the Bible, Bible class will be
given the same emphasis as any other class as far as grades, homework, and
credits are concerned. Emphasis will be given to the concepts and precepts of
the Word of God as well as the memorization and factual content required.

Chapel

Chapel will be held weekly on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 A.M. FCCS
welcomes the participation and attendance of its parents and friends.
Occasionally chapels will be in the afternoon to accommodate special services.

Because FCCS is a nondenominational school, speakers and groups from many
different churches will be utilized along with the talents of our own staff. The
administrator will screen all speakers, performers, etc., in order to maintain a
high level of spiritual lessons to be taught. The level and types of chapel will
vary due to the wide division of ages involved in Foothills.

Prayer

It should go without saying that prayer is one of the most crucial parts of
Foothills Community Christian School. Much prayer has already been invested
and much more is needed. It is crucial that prayer for wisdom, discernment,
protection, and safety be the first action taken in every situation. Every formal
meeting will include prayer. Please add us to your church's prayer list, and
mention FCCS when you pray with your children before bedtime.

Church Attendance

Foothills has the purpose of helping Christian parents raise their children in
the 'nurture and admonition of the Lord'. Because of this, weekly church
attendance and membership in a like - minded, scriptural church is expected of
Foothill's families. We teach students the importance of commitment to a local
church.
