ABOUT VCA

VICTORY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Victory Christian Academy was founded in August of 1980 with 1 teacher, a principal, and K5/1st grade. Created as a ministry of Victory Harvest Church, it had a clear mission: to provide a fully-Christian education while maintaining academic excellence. The following 4 years saw the school grow to include K-8th grades, and during the next 40 years Victory Academy would go on to establish itself as a premier name in Christian education in Louisiana.

Today, our Victory family has grown to include over 260 students, 42 faculty, 10 grade levels, 20 sports teams, and numerous clubs, committees, and extra curricular opportunities for our students and families. Our fine arts program includes private piano, guitar, and drum lessons as well.
Our unashamedly Christian approach and rigorous educational standards have set the school apart, and the mission is still at the core of everything we do.

At Victory, we still believe that any family that wants their child to receive a Christian education should not have to sacrifice academic quality to do so. We take the preparation of this generation of students as our utmost priority, and as we move into a new season of growth we know God will continue to lead and shape our school in the years to come.

Victory Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the organization. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, and other organization-administered programs.

Core Beliefs

As a Christian school, we embrace the calling of God to love others. Every missional initiative, act of benevolence, and outreach of the school is available to all, without discrimination— and we believe salvation is available freely to all.

We are unwavering, however, in the standard God has called us to hold as followers of Jesus, and the beliefs He has set for His Church.
The following are the core beliefs of Victory Harvest Church and Victory Christian Academy based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.

GOD

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

THE BIBLE

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26).

REVELATION

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

MANKIND

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

THE FALL

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

SALVATION

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, II Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11).

BAPTISM

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48).

THE LORD'S SUPPER

THE CHURCH

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

MARRIAGE

We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God (Matthew 19:4-6).

HEAVEN

HELL

We believe no one to be beyond the grace and love of God through Christ Jesus— to accept or reject God’s free gift of Salvation, bought by the blood of Jesus at Calvary, is a choice given to each person to make. After living one life on earth, those who have rejected Christ’s free gift will be judged by God and sent to hell where they will be eternally tormented with the devil and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).

RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
