Atlantis Beach Baptist College is a co-educational, independent school with an open enrolment policy. That is, students do not need to be of any particular religious affiliation or currently attending a church in order to be enrolled at Atlantis Beach Baptist College. Teachers at the College at practicing Christians from various Church denominations. All students at the College participate in Christian Education lessons as part of the compulsory curriculum at each year level. Courses cover a wide range of topics and issues. While many courses are Bible based and focus on specific Christian beliefs, a wide range of studies and topics relating to Personal Development, Justice and Ethics are also covered. We believe it is essential for parents/guardians to give full support to the Christian teaching and worship program of the College. Students in Secondary School participate in our Linked-In Christian Education Program on a weekly basis. Primary school engage in time tabled classroom religious education and the students attend regular Worship Assemblies. College Statement of Faith
• We believe the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of
God - a divine, supernatural, infallible revelation.
• We believe in the Triune God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
• We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life,
His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and His personal
return in power and glory.
• We believe that man, created in the image of God, fell into sin through the sin of
the first Adam and in that sense is lost and separated from God. We believe that
lost mankind must be born again, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and that
salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the
Christian is empowered to live a godly and victorious life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. For those that are
saved, heaven is a place of eternal blessedness.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. College Charter of Goodwill
