Foundations

Mueller Community Church

Mueller College has been developed as a ministry of Mueller Community Church. It is a part of the church vision to become more effective in outreach and service to the local community and further afield in global evangelism.

Mission Statement

The aim of Mueller College is to prepare its students for life in the world and eternity by applying Biblical principles through excellent education in a distinctly Christian environment.

Christian Education Framework

The “Christian Education Framework has been written to support staff, parents, students and other members of the Mueller College community in their pursuit of the mission of the school. Just as a school contains a diversity of people, so there needs to be a range of actions to implement this mission statement. This document is designed to provide a foundation to all College programs and activities and to meet the contemporary challenges of the operations of a Christian school in today’s culture.

Statement of Faith

THE BIBLE The Bible is the inspired word of God, and is the sole authoritative guide in all matters of Christian faith and practice.

GOD The Godhead is a Triunity of Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, of one essence, “acting in complemental, counterpanal being and life”, eternal and infinite.

MAN God created man in His own image and likeness. Man failed to obey God so that sin entered the human race, separating man from God. Fallen mankind is not able to save himself and remains in this state under Satan’s dominion until receiving spiritual life through Christ.

SALVATION God, in grace, made it possible for man to be brought back to Himself, by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world. Born of the virgin Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit, true God and true Man, He was sinless in every respect. By His death and resurrection, He is able to save all who believe in Him.

THE CHURCH The Church is the company of all true believers, formed by the Holy Spirit into one body, of which Christ is the Head.

THE LOCAL CHURCH There are local expressions of this body termed local churches. The ideal is that they all come together on the common ground of faith in Christ for praise, prayer, worship and witness.

CHURCH ORDINANCES Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are two ordinances of the Church. Baptism is that of believers only and by immersion. The Lord’s Supper is commemorated by believers in the breaking of bread, emblem of Christ’s broken body and drinking of wine, emblem of Christ’s shed blood until His second coming.

THE SECOND COMING The Lord Jesus Christ will return as Lord, King and Judge.
