About GRACE | Grace Christian Academy

Message from Head of School Steven Brondyke

Hello, my name is Steve Brondyke I am the head of school here at Grace Christian Academy. I want to take just a moment to welcome you to our website. I also want to share with you what God is doing in our school. As you must know, a parent’s decision regarding their child’s education is not simply important, but it can be truly life changing. At Grace, it is our mission to operate our school as an extension of the Christian home. Think of it as a triangle. A well-rounded student gets the same training in their Christian home that he or she gets in a Bible believing church and ultimately at our school as well. Our educational program is always Christ centered and biblically based. After all, how can you effectively teach a student about math and science without teaching them about the Creator of the universe!

We take great pride in providing an academically rigorous, college preparatory educational program that is supported and led by administrators and faculty members that are highly qualified and passionately dedicated to serving our families and educating our students well. We are a fully accredited K3-12 academy that is accredited by the Georgia Association of Christian Schools. Also, we have a partnership with the American Association of Christian Schools. In addition, we offer a comprehensive and competitive athletic program that allows our students to compete interscholastically with other athletes around our state. Finally, we offer numerous extracurricular activities that allow our students to gain additional skills and to enjoy spending time, outside the classroom with our staff and their peers.

I want to cordially invite you to stop by for a visit. Exciting times are present at our school. Our student body is growing, our programs are continuously expanding, and we are getting the opportunity to minister, effectively, to many families in our community. We are not just a school, we are a family of believers unified together for the common purpose of educating students in a distinctly Christian environment. When you step on campus, I am confident that you will immediately feel the love of Christ around you. Feel free to reach out to us at any time. We can’t wait to hear from you, because at Grace Christian Academy it’s truly our privilege to serve Christ and you.

Rev. Steven Brondyke, MA, M.Div.

What we Believe

The Bible

God

Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary and became perfect Man while remaining wholly God. He gave His life on the cross as the only satisfactory payment for all sin; He was buried and three days later rose bodily and literally from the dead, thus proving His deity, and that sin has really been paid for once and for all; He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father from where He will come again.
Matthew 1:18-23; Colossians 1:16-19 & 2:9,10; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 2:11; Romans 1:3-4; I Peter 2:24 & 3:18; Hebrews 9:28 & 10:10-14

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God, being the Third Person of the Godhead. He indwells all true believers in Christ of this Church Age. He is the Comforter and the inner power of the believer. He also convicts the unbelieving world of its sin of unbelief, of its need for God’s righteousness and of the certainty of coming judgment. He is also the Divine Author of Scripture.
Acts 5:1-4; John 16:7-11; I Corinthians 6:19; II Peter 1:21

___

Man

The True Church

The True Church is comprised of all true believers of this Age. At the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit baptizes or places all true believers into the body of Christ, the Church. Water baptism, on the other hand, is not a condition for salvation, but is an outward testimony of the believer’s intention to “walk in newness of life.”
Acts 1:8 & 2:1-4 & 10:47; I Corinthians 12:13 & 6:19-20; Ephesians 2:19-22 & 4:5

___

Salvation

Man is saved by the undeserved mercy of God through faith in Christ; it is a free gift, and nothing of man’s effort or character can bring him salvation. His efforts, regardless how good or well-intended–either before or after he is saved–have nothing to do with saving him. Salvation is by the finished work of Christ and nothing can be added to it.
Acts 13:38-39; Galatians 2:16; Colossians 2:13; Romans 3:22 & 4:5 & 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5

___

The Believer’s Standing and State

Every true child of God possesses eternal life, being justified by faith, sanctified by God, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and is safe and secure for all eternity; he cannot lose his salvation. However, a Christian can, through sin, lose his fellowship, joy, power, testimony and reward ; and thus incur the Father’s added chastening. Relationship is eternal being established by the new birth; fellowship, however, is dependent upon knowledge of and application of God’s Word to one’s life. Such consistent application produces consistent spiritual growth.
John 6:37,39,47; Hebrews 12:5-11; I Corinthians 3:11-17 & 5:1-5 & 11:30-32; I John 5:9-13

___

The Christian Life

A true child of God has two births: one of the flesh, the other of the Holy Spirit; thus, the believer has a flesh nature and a Spiritual nature. The flesh nature is neither good nor righteous. The Spiritual Nature does not commit any sin. The result is a warfare between the Spirit and the flesh which continues throughout one’s life. The flesh nature of the believer does not change or improve in any way as a result of the New Birth ,but can and should be controlled and kept subdued by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
John 3:3-7; Galatians 5:16-17; Romans 7:15-25 & 8:4-8; I Peter 1:23; I John 1:8,10 & 3:9 & 5:18

___

The Resurrections

There will be a resurrection of the believers and of the unbelievers; of the saved to eternal life in heaven,and of the lost to eternal conscious punishment in hell. These two resurrections are separated by at least one thousand years.
Daniel 12:2; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:5-15

The Plan of Salvation

The general plan of salvation as believed and practiced by Fayette Bible Church is as follows:

All men are sinners.
Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10,23; James 2:10.
The penalty of sin is death–separation from God.
Ezekiel 18:20; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 21:8.
One must be perfect to enter Heaven.
Habakkuk 1:13; Revelation 21:27.
Man can do nothing of himself to obtain this perfection.
Romans 4:5; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8,9.
God provided a sin-bearer in Christ and imputes His own righteousness to the one who believes in Christ.
Isaiah 53:6; II Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9; I Peter 2:24; 3:18.
Man must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as the sole source of salvation in order to be saved; in fact, this is all he can do.
John 1:12,13; 3:16; Acts 13:38,39; 20:21.
The believer in Christ can be certain of his salvation now . Once saved he cannot be lost because eternal life is ETERNAL.
John 6:37-39; 10:28; Hebrews 10:10-14; I Peter 1:5; I John 5:12,13.
