Statement of Faith
We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired, infallible word of God and the basis for our beliefs. Oakwood Baptist Church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention. We voluntarily band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost humanity and minister to all. The ordinances of the Church are Believer’s Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. All Academy employees must profess a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made to salvation.”

Mission Statement
Oakwood Christian Academy staff endeavors to unite a passion for Christ with excellence in academics for all students. This mission is reflected through students who love God (Christ-focused), excel academically (curriculum), love others (community-focused), and seek to make a difference through service and leadership from a biblical worldview perspective.

Purpose
In order to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ in the generation to come (Psalm 145:4 “One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.”), the OCA staff seeks to provide a biblically founded (passion for Christ and love of community) education program, which results in high levels of academic performance (excellence in academics) for students (Isaiah 54:13). The Academy can accomplish this educational endeavor through a concerted effort of parents, a Christian curriculum, and Christian educators who study and utilize best practices.
Isaiah 54:13 “All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children’s peace.”
Oakwood Christian Academy is a uniquely religious, educational institution that seeks to provide a quality education in a distinct Christian environment. One of the goals of OCA is to work with parents and guardians to train Christian young men and women to be salt and light in their communities. OCA believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and sets forth absolute truth by which Christians are to live. Therefore, OCA expects and requires that both students and parents will support the school in its clear mission and its biblical beliefs.
In relying on the teachings of Scripture, OCA believes that the Bible prohibits sexual immorality of any type, including, but not limited to, pornography, homosexuality, or any other sexual activity outside the marriage of one man and one woman. On those occasions in which a particular home or student is acting counter to or in opposition to the biblical beliefs and lifestyle that the school teaches, the school reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse admission to an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a current student. This includes, but is not limited to, living in, condoning, or supporting any form of sexual immorality; practicing or promoting a homosexual lifestyle or alternative gender identity; or otherwise having the inability to support the moral principles of the school as stated throughout the handbook.
