Statements & Beliefs

Beacon Hill Classical Academy is not affiliated with any one church, but instead is an extension of the Church.

Motto
Our Motto is the Latin translation of Psalm 36:9 In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen.
Translated, it reads, “In your light do we see light.” We are reminded by this statement that as Christians we truly know and educate from the perspective of God’s revelation in Jesus Christ, who was called the Light of the World. We recite it in Latin because it reminds us that we belong to a long tradition that has cherished this philosophy.

Vision Statement
Beacon Hill Classical Academy strives (consistently) to graduate wise and eloquent Christians for the glory of Christ, impacting Ventura County and beyond.

Mission Statement
We labor alongside families of the Church to train up young disciples in the Christian liberal arts.

Statement of Faith
The statement of faith adopted by Beacon Hill Classical Academy is limited to primary Christian doctrine, which is considered to be central to all Christian denominations, and which sets Protestant Christianity apart from other faiths. We hold that a Christian is one who has heard the word of truth, the Gospel (Col. 1:5) and has responded to that message in genuine repentance and faith. He confesses with his mouth and believes in his heart that Jesus is Lord, that He died for his sins, and that God raised Him from the dead (Rom.10:9,10). He takes his place among the body of Christ through baptism, commitment to serve a local church, and continual participation at the Lord’s Table.
  1. We believe the Bible alone to be the word of God, the ultimate and infallible authority for faith and practice.
  2. We believe that there is one God, a Spirit eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, the enlivening work of the Holy Spirit upon the soul is absolutely necessary.
  5. We believe that salvation is a gift of God received through faith apart from the merit of our actions.
  6. We believe a faith that does not manifest itself in good deeds is no true faith.
  7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a life more and more pleasing to God.
  8. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to the resurrection of life and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
  9. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  10. ​We believe that the church is the fullness of God’s kingdom in heaven and on earth.

Summarily, we embrace and adopt both the essential truths of orthodox Christianity, as articulated in the ecumenical councils of Nicea, Constantinople and Chalcedon, and the system of doctrine expressed in the creeds of the Protestant Reformation, including the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Second London Confession of 1689, the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England and the Westminster Confession of Faith.
