Statement of Biblical Morality
Wake Christian Academy stands firmly upon the historical truth claims and moral foundations of Christianity. This includes, but is not limited to, the biblical definition of marriage, the attendant boundaries of sexuality and moral conduct, and the clear biblical teaching that biological sex is both sacred and established by God’s design.
Parents or legal guardians, who choose to enroll their children at Wake are agreeing to support these and other basic biblical values derived from historical Christianity. Parents understand and agree that Wake Christian Academy will teach these principles and biblical values.
Wake’s Board of Directors urges parents to recognize their scriptural responsibility to provide their children with a Christian education and to understand that the primary responsibility for this task rests with the parents (Deuteronomy 6:1–9, Psalm 78:5, 6, Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4). Wake was founded and continues to operate upon biblical values and the desire and commitment for Bible-believing Christian parents to enroll their children in an intentionally Christian environment.
Wake Christian Academy will accept students who are willing to support the school’s Confession of Faith, above-stated positions, and student conduct requirements, and whose parents are willing to allow their children to be educated and influenced in an intentionally Christian environment. Continued enrollment at Wake is contingent upon this same understanding and support by both the student and parents.
Wake is a religious institution providing an education in a distinctly Christian environment, believing its biblical role is to work in conjunction with the home to mold students to be Christ-like. On occasions in which the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home or the activities of the student are counter to or in opposition to the biblical lifestyle the school teaches, the school reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to refuse admission of an applicant or discontinue enrollment of a current student. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, living in, practicing, condoning, or supporting sexual immorality, including but not limited to, sex outside of marriage, homosexual acts, bisexual acts, gender identity different than biological sex, promoting such practices, or otherwise the inability to support the moral principles of the school (Leviticus, 20:13a, Romans 1:27, Matthew 19:4-6).
Wake Christian Academy believes that every person is created in the image of God, that human sexuality reflects that image in terms of intimate love, communication, fellowship, subordination of the self to the larger whole, and fulfillment. God’s Word makes use of the marriage relationship as the supreme metaphor for His relationship with His covenant people and for revealing the truth that that relationship is of one God with one people. Therefore God’s plan for human sexuality is that it is to be expressed only in a monogamous lifelong relationship between one man and one woman within the framework of marriage. This is the only relationship that is divinely designed for the birth and rearing of children and is a union made in the sight of God, taking priority over every other human relationship (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18, 20, 23–24; Isaiah 54:4–8; 62:5b; Jeremiah 3:14; Ezekiel 16; Hosea 2; Malachi 2:14; Matthew 19:4–6; Mark 10:9; John 2:1–2, 11; 1 Corinthians 9:5; Ephesians 5:23–32; 1 Timothy 5:14; Hebrews 13:4; and Revelation 19:7–8).
