Intimacy:
A students intimate relationship and friendship with God should be the core of who they are and everything that they do in life. Jesus said eternal life is to “know God”. This speaks of an intimate knowledge that is only developed through a lifestyle of intimate friendship with and devotion to God. We believe that every good thing in life comes from the foundation of intimacy with God. This is one of our core values and goals that we endeavor to develop in each student.
John 17:3 / Mark 12:30 / 2 Cor. 13:14
Identity:
Out of intimacy with God a student begins to discover their identity in God. Knowing your identity is essential to fulfilling God's purpose for your life. As a born-again believer, we are now sons and daughters of God; His family in the earth, with His very own DNA. Apples bring forth apple, oranges bring forth oranges, your parents brought you forth, but at your salvation experience you were born-again, “brought forth”, by God. As sons and daughters of God, we now represent Him in the earth. Without a proper foundation of identity as a son or daughter of God, a student will wander through life aimlessly and devoid of purpose. Developing Identity is an important core value of Abiding Glory Kingdom Academy.
Gal. 4:7 / Rom. 8:14-17 / 2 Cor. 5:17
Initiative:
We believe that each student needs to develop an individual responsibility and self-initiative to see themselves develop into the fullness of who God has called them to be. Our goal is to stir up an excitement and a hunger for learning in each student that propels them to press forward into their individual destinies. Every good leader has the necessary initiative to press toward their goals and we believe that graduates from Abiding Glory Kingdom Academy will have this initiative ingrained in them and be successful leaders in the spheres of influence they are called to.
Eph. 2:10 / Psa. 15 / Phil. 2:12 / Phil. 3:14 / 1 Cor. 9:24
Excellence:
We believe in training young people to value excellence in everything they do in life. We worship a God of excellence and it is a core value and goal at this school that we would see the fruit of God's excellence manifest in each student's life. Within God and His Kingdom are all the answers this world needs and we believe an army of students will be released from Abiding Glory Kingdom Academy who will manifest the goodness and the excellence of God to this world.
Col. 3:17 / Eph. 2:10 / Gal. 6:9 / 2 Pet. 1:3-5
Purpose:
God has given humanity a purpose. This purpose is to intimately know our God and to make Him known to the world by declaring that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and demonstrating His power and His goodness! The Kingdom Mandate is to establish and expand the Kingdom of God, on earth as it is in heaven. Each student has been graced and gifted by God to manifest the Kingdom through their own individual talents and gifting. It is a core value and goal at Abiding Glory Kingdom Academy to educate and train each student to give full glory to God by helping them reach their full potential in life.
