Statement of Faith

Creekside Christian School’s Statement of Faith is the same Statement of Faith for Open Bible Church of Rapid City, a member of the Open Bible Churches (www.openbible.org).     

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
  2. We believe there is one God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  5. We believe the full gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing for the body and baptism in the Holy Spirit.
  6. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
  7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  8. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Core Values

Biblical Worldview

The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inerrant and inspired Word of God. All members of the school community function under this authority and strive to apply the truths of scripture in all relationships and activities for the glory of God and the benefit of all.

Leading by Integrity 

We want our students to be intentional about doing the right things and doing them right. The priority in all dealings with students is to apply lovingly the truth of the gospel to the heart. The goal is to encourage the heart of the student to be turned toward the Savior, not merely toward outward conformity. The proper understanding of the character of God and of our standing before Him leads us to a response of worship and service. Preparing the student for the road, rather than the road for the student, is an essential aspect of this shepherding process. This priority helps equip the student to be responsible and resourceful in life. 

Excellence in Education 

Creekside Christian School is first and foremost a school. Intentional consideration is given to the roles of the school, home and church to insure that the school gives highest priority to those activities most appropriate for the school’s unique sphere of influence. The intellectual capacities of our students are developed to enable them to think critically and deeply about both the Creator and the creation.

A variety of rigorous, engaging, academic and co-curricular activities are provided to enable students to identify and express the full range of their unique gifts and abilities. Educational decisions are made on the basis of what is best for children. High levels of student participation in the various activities and programs enrich the school experience for everyone.

Servant Attitude

The concept of servant leadership emerges from the teaching of Scripture concerning the individual as servant of God. Those who practice servant leadership discover the overwhelming joy of developing and equipping the diversity that exists within the body of Christ. Often ignoring the inherent power of a position, a biblically based leader focuses on demonstrating a genuine concern for people through tenderly serving them, modeling the spirit and attitudes of Christ.  Servant leadership focuses on the needs and growth of those being led, not the needs of those who are leading.

    About us

    Our purpose is based on Ephesians 4:11-12: And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ.  (ESV)
