Mission

Westside Christian High School, a campus of Westside Christian Schools of Portland, provides exceptional Christian education rooted in God’s Word. We prayerfully partner with parents to help students grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, to inspire lifelong learning, and to joyfully serve others for the glory of God.

OUR Statement of Faith

The Board, families and staff of WCS affirm these biblical truths:

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Tim. 3:15; 2 Peter 1:21).
  • We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1; Matt. 28:19; John 10:30).
  • We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Heb. 4:15; 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and
    atoning death (I Cor. 15:3; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:4);
    His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power
    and glory (Acts 1:11; and Rev. 19:11).
  • We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that we are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24; Romans 3:23; 5:8-9; Eph. 2:9-10; Titus 3:5).
  • 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 (John 5:28-29).
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Cor. 12:12-13; Gal. 3:26-28).
  • We believe that heaven and hell are definite places (Rev. 21, Matt 25:46, 2 Thes. 1:9, John 14:2, Ps 23:6).
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14; I Cor. 3:16; 6:19-20; Eph. 4:30; 5:18).

 

Statement of Biblical Authority


The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with the final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. The decisions of the Board of Directors will be the final and decisive determination of the application and interpretation of such scriptural authority.

Statement on Marriage and Sexuality


We believe that God has created with purpose each person as male or female, that marriage is distinctly sanctioned by God as a union of one man and one woman, and that sexual intimacy is only to occur in marriage (Gen 2:22-24, Matt 19:4-6, Mark 10:6-9, Rom 1:26-27, 1 Cor 6:9, 18, 7:2, Heb 13:4.)
