Our Mission

Park West Church has been a lighthouse in the city of Knoxville for 43 years. The launch of Spirit Life Academy is an extension of the mission of Park West Church. The founding pastor, Gerald McGinnis, has declared that mission to be to advance the Kingdom of God and to destroy the works of the enemy.

 

Spirit Life Academy’s mission is to walk hand-in-hand with our families to support the educational and spiritual growth of our children. Educationally we provide excellent and rigorous academics in a fun and loving environment. Spiritually we support our students with weekly worship services which include prayer, worship, and scripture. We are a Holy Spirit led school with a desire to see our children grow in their faith and be lights for the kingdom of God in our city and beyond.

 

Our children are in classes on campus Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Wednesdays and Fridays are home days for our students. On these days parents will follow the teacher provided lesson plans with their children.

Statement of Faith

The following are the core beliefs of Spirit Life 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

  • We believe in one God, existing in three Persons- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus

  • We believe Jesus is God and was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

  • We believe He led a sinless life. He was crucified, he died and was raised to life again on the third day.

  • We believe Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.

  • We believe that Jesus is coming again just as He promised.

  • We believe in one God, existing in three Persons- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit who is our Comforter and guides us in our daily lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and power.

  • We believe in one God, existing in three Persons- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Salvation

  • We believe that sin has separated us all from God and only through His Son Jesus can we be reconciled to God.
