Our Mission
Our mission is to “co-labor” by coming alongside Christian parents who desire to provide a biblically centered learning environment for their children. Our objective is twofold:
- To train and equip young people as disciples of Jesus Christ.
- To enable each student to reach his/her full potential spiritually, academically, socially, and physically, for the glory of God.
Vision Statement
Education by Discipleship is the vision of Solid Rock Education Center (SREC). Our goal is to provide a high standard of instruction that is committed to enabling students to reach their full potential. As a ministry of Christ is the King Baptist Church (CKBC), our philosophy of education is consistent with and patterned after the biblically based model of ministry that CKBC’s principles and practices reflect. Our Statement of Faith and Philosophy of Education statement identify specific biblical values and guidelines that have shaped our thinking concerning Christian education.
Statement of Faith
We believe in all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity.
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.
We believe that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.
We believe in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.
We believe that after Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.
We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the Scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
Philosophy of Education
Romans 11:36: For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.
The ministry of SREC is committed to helping parents to disciple their children in the ways of the Lord. We believe that every student is created “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:27) and that when a child receives Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they become a part of the family of God and need “the pure milk of the Word” (1 Peter 2:2) in order to mature spiritually. Our desire is to help them to develop and grow in the purposes and plans that God has for their lives. We will seek to minister to students spiritually, academically, socially, and physically in much the same way that Jesus did when He lived among the people of His day. In each classroom, the teacher, under the leading and empowering of the Holy Spirit, is called to model the life of Christ before the students as they create a stimulating learning environment. All subject material will be integrated with Scriptural principles in order to cultivate a biblical worldview grounded in the inerrancy of the Word of God. Our desire is for students to have a love for learning that will help them to reach their God-given potential.
Our philosophy of education stems from the following Scriptural principles:
God is the eternal Creator of all and exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Psalm 90:1-2: Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
Genesis 1:1-2: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
1 John 5:7: For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Colossians 1:16-17: For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Man was created in the image of God, and for His glory.
Genesis 1:26: Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.
1 Corinthians 10:31: Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Isaiah 43:7: Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him. Man is a sinner and without Jesus Christ cannot know or honor God.

Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21: For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Hebrews 9:12: Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Acts 4:12: Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. God provides the truth of His Word and the power of His Spirit for growth as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

John 16:13: However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you the things to come. God calls believers to be disciples and to make disciples for His glory.
Mark 12:30-31: And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
Matthew 28:19-20: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. The role of the parents to disciple and educate their children.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-17: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing.
Adoration
Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His Mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150)
Confession
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24)
Thanksgiving
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. (Psalm 100:4)
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
Supplication
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18)
The role of the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:12-13: Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
John 14:16-17: And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the
Spirit of truth.
John 15:26: But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
John 16:8: And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
Acts 1:8: But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
The role of teachers.
Philippians 4:9: The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
1 Corinthians 4:16-17: Therefore I urge you, imitate me. For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
2 Timothy 2:2: And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:24: And a servant of the LORD must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
