Bethany Christian Academy: A Christ-Centered Community
Bethany Christian Academy is a non-denominational school that welcomes students and families from diverse church backgrounds. United by our commitment to faith, family, and future, our school community represents a rich tapestry of believers who attend various churches throughout the greater Orlando area.
The following Statement of Faith reflects the foundational biblical doctrines that guide our mission, values, and educational approach at Bethany Christian Academy.
At Bethany Christian Academy, our faith is the foundation of everything we do. We uphold the following biblical truths, which guide our mission, values, and educational approach:
-
The Bible – We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:21)
-
The Trinity – We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)
-
Jesus Christ – We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and personal return in power and glory. (John 10:33, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 4:15, John 2:11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Mark 16:19, Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11)
-
Salvation – We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation, and that we are justified by grace through faith alone in Christ's shed blood. (John 3:16-19, Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)
-
Eternal Life – We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—the saved to eternal life, and the lost to eternal separation from God. (John 5:28-29)
-
Unity of Believers – We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28)
-
The Holy Spirit – We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers and empowers them to live a godly life. (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 5:18)
-
Marriage and Sexuality – We believe that marriage is a lifelong, exclusive covenant between one man and one woman, and that all intimate sexual activity outside of biblical marriage is sin. (Genesis 2:24-25, Matthew 19:4-6, Romans 1:18-31, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
-
God’s Design for Humanity – We believe that God created human beings male and female, and that adopting or presenting oneself as a gender other than one’s biological sex is contrary to His design. (Genesis 1:27, Deuteronomy 22:5)

At Bethany Christian Academy, these foundational biblical principles shape our teaching, discipleship, and commitment to raising up students who honor God, serve others, and impact the world for Christ.
Our History
Bethany Christian Academy was founded from the ground up in 2015 by Alide Delien, with a vision to provide a Christ-centered education that nurtures students academically, spiritually, and personally. From its inception, BCA has been committed to Faith, Family, and Future, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in their education, faith, and calling.
Through prayer, dedication, and a deep desire to impact students' lives, BCA has grown into a thriving institution, offering rigorous academics, strong biblical foundations, and a nurturing community. With each passing year, we continue to expand our reach, strengthen our programs, and deepen our commitment to raising up future leaders for Christ.
At Bethany Christian Academy, we believe that God’s purpose for our students is greater than just academic achievement—it is about preparing them to make a lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
