Who we are and what we believe

PATH Mission Statement

"PATH comes alongside homeschooling parents to provide academic, social, and spiritual development, all under the banner of Jesus Christ for the purposes of preparing students to take their next steps.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, infallible, the supreme and final authority for all faith and life.

  • •We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • •We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death, bodily resurrection, and imminent return.
  • •We believe man was created in the image of God but fell into sin; only those who put their faith in Jesus Christ alone can be saved.
  • •We believe salvation is the gift of God brought by grace through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • •We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to indwell, guide, instruct, convict, comfort, and empower believers.
  • •We believe in the spiritual unity of believers through our common faith in Jesus Christ.
