About FAITH

Founded in 1993, Faith Christian Academy is proud to serve as a leading Christian educational institution for students from K4 through 12th grade in the greater Wausau area. Our mission is to foster academic, spiritual, physical, and social development with excellence across all grade levels.

At Faith Christian Academy, we strive to provide a comprehensive educational experience that nurtures spiritual strength and character. We aim to equip each student with the essential tools for success in their ongoing studies at the college level. Our dedicated team of committed Christian educators delivers a rigorous curriculum to achieve these goals.

Our Mission & Vision

Our vision is to equip young men and women to impact their world for God’s glory.  So whether it’s in a K4 class, or a higher level class for our seniors, the reference point for education will be God’s Word.

Our mission is to partner with parents in providing an academic and spiritual education that inspires students to be conformed to the image of Christ, equips them to discover truth through the lens of Scripture, and develops their potential for further educational pursuits.

Statement of Faith

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is God’s written Word, and is therefore the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks. The sole basis of Faith Christian Academy’s beliefs is the Bible. It is upon this that the policies and procedures of the handbook are based.

It is the firm belief of the Board of Directors that this school has been raised up by Christ to be a Christian non-denominational school operating in agreement with the following statement:

THE WORD OF GOD—The Bible is the Word of God, inerrant, infallible, and the sole authority for faith and practice.

THE TRINITY—We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We believe these are equal in every Divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.

GOD THE FATHER—We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, justice, righteousness, truth, and love. He mercifully concerns Himself in the affairs of men. He hears and answers prayer. He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ by faith.

JESUS CHRIST—We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, perfect God and perfect man, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary death of atonement at Calvary, His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people, and His visible return to earth.

HOLY SPIRIT—We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and comes to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who place their faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.

REGENERATION—We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are made alive spiritually, and by the empowering of the Holy Spirit are enabled to live godly lives.

THE CHURCH—We believe in the universal church which is a living spiritual body where Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ and assembled for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of glorifying God, and giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

JUDGMENT—We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the final judgment, the eternal joy of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
