Pacifica Christian is a liberal arts high school devoted to teaching young men and women from all neighborhoods to think critically and wisely, instilling heartfelt joy and interest in learning, while encouraging lives of faith, character, and service to the glory of God.
Vision

Pacifica endeavors to be a liberal arts high school that teaches students to think and live well by integrating faith, virtue, and learning.
Motto

Gratia et Veritas (Grace and Truth)

Pacifica is founded on the pursuit of grace and truth in all relationships. According to John 1:14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The integration of grace and truth is a gift from the Father, which is modeled by Christ. That is the example we seek to follow in shaping our school culture.

COLOR OF OUR CREST

Blue symbolizes peace, stability, harmony, and loyalty. For the Hebrews, the color blue represented holiness, and, in Christianity, it represents the hope of heaven and the pursuit for truth.

CREST SYMBOLS

The Bible

The Bible represents the living Word of God; the cross inside this Bible is a sign of the crucifixion, the great price Jesus paid for our salvation.

Laurel Wreath

A sprig of laurel has its origins in antiquity. Since before the days of Christ, it has been associated with triumph, specifically athletic victory. This symbol reminds us of our commitment to excellence.

The Lion

The lion is known for its dauntless courage and impressive strength. In Christianity, the lion represents Christ.

Fleur-De-Lis

The “fleur-de-lis,” or flower of the lily, has long been held as a symbol of purity and light. This symbol reminds us of our commitment to Christian values and a life devoted to God.

We Believe...

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority for Christian faith and practice.
God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and has revealed Himself to be perfect in love, righteous in all His ways, and Creator of all things.
Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son. As true God and true man, He allowed Himself to be born of a virgin, taught men how to love through His sinless life, was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins, arose bodily from the dead, was seen by over 500 persons, and returned to heaven to prepare a place for us.
Men and women were created in God’s image, tempted by Satan, and rebelled against God. Through repentance and personal faith in Jesus Christ we are forgiven of our sins, reborn of the Holy Spirit, and become children of God.
The Holy Spirit persuades us to repent of our sins and confess Jesus as Lord. He lives in us, teaches us, and enables us to live godly lives.
The Church is the living Body of Christ on earth. Christ is its head and source of its life. The church body is composed of those who have received Him as Savior and Lord. The church exists to communicate God’s good news to our world, to care for the growth and health of the body of Christ, and to celebrate the love and life of God.
God’s redemptive purpose will be consummated by the return of Christ to raise the dead, judge all people according to the deeds done in the body, and establish His glorious kingdom.
