The mission of Rometown Academy is to be an effective instrument of God. Together with Christian parents and the church, we seek to educate children and young people in Truth and Biblical knowledge so that they may grow and mature into perceptive and caring Christians who will have a transforming influence on the world.

These tenets listed are taken from the Holy, inspired Word of God and not an end to themselves but a basic portion to establish the unity of the fellowship at Rometown Community Church and Rometown Academy.

One God

That there is one and only one God of the universe, of creation, of Salvation, and of eternity. He is three. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each equal and all three are one, that is God!

Word of God

The Bible is the inspired Word of God written down by those chosen by God to be His messengers. All other documents are merely man's commentary.

Salvation

The Salvation of man provided by God through the substitutionary death and the resurrection of the Son, undeserved by man and the free gift of God to man.

• Man, who was perfectly created, fell from grace due to his sin, which brought death to all mankind.

• God who requires perfect justice, met that requirement by sending His one and only Son, Jesus, to die in place of sinful man so that man could once again be in fellowship with a Holy God and have the Hope of Eternal Life with the Lord in Heaven.

• In Faith the believer receives the gift of salvation through the Son and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which brings out the character of Christ in the believer.

Baptism

The ordinance of Water Baptism should be observed by all who have repented and believe in the free gift of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is the proclamation of the believer to the world that they are a new creature through the cleansing provided by the shed blood of Jesus.

Communion

The ordinance of Communion should be observed by believers regularly as commanded by the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Fruit of the Spirit

The manifestation of the Spirit will come forth in the fruit of the Spirit. The life of the believer will change and the character of Christ will come forth as the believer grows to spiritual maturity.

Church

The church is the Body of Christ or The Bride of Christ. It consists of the group of believers that God has called to gather to accomplish the will of the Father.

Evangelism

The ministry of evangelism is the carrying of the good news or the Gospel of Christ to those in our community and to send out and support missionaries to carry the Gospel to the world as Jesus commanded.

Resurrection of the Dead

Eternal life with the Lord is the hope of all who believe. Jesus promised that He would return for all those who have accepted the gift of Salvation. That after physical death all believers will be raised to life at the resurrection, as Jesus was on the third day, and so will ever be with the Lord.

End of the Age

The book of Revelation along with all other prophecy in the Bible says God will bring this age to an end with Christ's return as the Lion of Judah. He will sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem and rule the world for 1000 years and will judge all who have refused the free gift of salvation according to their works and the Law. He will cast all those guilty of rejecting Christ in the lake of fire along with Satan and his angels.

The philosophy of education at Rometown Academy school originates in a deeply held belief in the Divine inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture and the superiority of its teachings to the wisdom of men. We stand without reservation on the absolutes of the Holy Bible and seek to interpret all of life and learning from the basis of the principles set forth in God's Word. Our faith, therefore, is in God; and our trust, in His Word as the Holy Spirit guides us to the knowledge and understanding of truth.

These convictions provide the framework for our entire educational program. Everything we do as an institution, no matter how great or small, must be consistent with these foundational beliefs.

As we undertake the task of education of young persons at Rometown Academy school, we fundamentally believe that man has been uniquely created by God in His image and that all meaning and purpose in our lives, therefore, is derived from Him. Yet, because of our sinfulness, we are unable to please God apart from our salvation through personal belief in His Son, Jesus Christ, and the regeneration of our lives by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God created all things and that all truth is ultimately God's truth. Thus, the pathway to true knowledge and wisdom is found only in the interpretation of facts in the light of God's purposes in creation and providence. Education which either denies or ignores God is neither God-honoring nor adequate to reveal absolute and complete truth.

Our convictions are equally operative in the methods with which we conduct the overall Rometown Academy program. From the establishment of board policies to the hiring of personnel; from the recruitment of students to the selection and development of curriculum, we prayerfully plan and execute each phase of our program to be in agreement with our foundational beliefs. The educational process at our school involves much more than the presentation of a Bible-enriched curriculum to our students. It is a process in which the Word of God governs and informs every subject, every activity, and every idea we employ.

We view our ultimate purpose as assisting parents in the training of their children to be effective Christians in today's world by developing within each student a discerning Christian mind. This, we believe, will not only enable the young person to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ at an early age, but it will also, in concert with the instruction he receives at home and in the church, prepare him to serve the Lord faithfully and boldly in his chosen calling by teaching him to consistently choose to live his life in accordance with God's Word.
