Riverside Christian School

Core Values:

  • Our mission is the development of students prepared academically and spiritually to serve Jesus Christ and to impact the world through their character and leadership.

  • Ready for Tomorrow: We believe that it is our goal to instill in each student the passion to serve the Lord Jesus Christ through their character and leadership. Riverside Christian endeavors to prepare students to become Christ-like leaders in their schools, churches, communities, families, and vocations. To learn more about our beliefs, please read our Statement of Faith.

  • We believe that it is our mission to develop students both academically and spiritually so that when they depart from Riverside Christian they are firmly rooted in Christ.

  • Scriptures

    We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings and that they alone are the infallible Word of God. They alone are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

    God

    We believe there is one, and only one, living and true God and that He eternally exists in three equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    Jesus Christ

    We believe that Jesus Christ is both true God and true man. We believe that as God, Jesus Christ exists from eternity to eternity as the Son of God. We believe that as man, Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension to heaven, in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate. We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit eternally exists as the third person of the Triune Godhead. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts men of the need for Christ and regenerates them, giving every believer a new spiritual life. We believe the Holy Spirit seals, empowers, guides, teaches and sanctifies every believer. We believe the Holy Spirit sovereignly bestows gifts upon believers and produces spiritual fruit in each Christian as evidence of a Spirit-filled life.

    Man

    We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he voluntarily sinned and there by incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are totally incapable, through any personal act or combination of actions of righteousness, to earn approval from God, which will solve the separation problem.

    Salvation

    We believe that salvation is available to all who will receive it and is wholly of grace through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. All who receive this gift are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation. We believe that all who are born again are kept by God the Father for Jesus Christ.

    Resurrection

    We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

    Church

    We believe in the great commission, which our Lord has given to His church to evangelize the world, and that the church is made up of all who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The local church is a congregation of believers who have associated for worship and fellowship.

    Creation

    We accept the literal Genesis account of creation and believe that man came by direct creation of God and not by evolution.

    Satan

    We believe in the personality of Satan, that he is the unholy god of this age, the author of all the powers of darkness and is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in the lake of fire.

Where you send your child to school, and to whom you entrust them for that experience, is one of the most important decisions any parent will make.

At Riverside Christian, our mission is to partner with parents in raising their children in an environment that mirrors their values and is decidedly Christian.

RCS is a community of students, parents, faculty, and staff who are pursuing a deeply rooted faith in Christ and a readiness for whatever their tomorrow will bring.

That readiness is facilitated through academic rigor and extracurricular activity that challenges and supports students spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.

Riverside faculty and staff feel the call of God on their lives to teach, mentor, and train up students of all ages and it’s our joy to do so!

Regardless of whether your family’s faith is rooted or emerging, we invite you to consider Riverside Christian School as the place for your child’s educational experience here in the Yakima Valley.
