These beliefs are similar to those of non-denominational, Protestant Christianity.

History

The school was founded in the summer of 1977 by the family of Robert and Donna Buckley. The Buckleys were committed to making sure their six children received a quality, Christian education, but after moving to Fauquier county in 1975, the trek to their old school soon proved too long to bear. Their solution to this was to create their own Christian school. Thus, Fresta Valley Christian School began in the Buckley family home.

When the school quickly grew to 28 students, the Buckley family realized their home could not accommodate so many students, so Fresta Valley moved into St. James Episcopal Church in Warrenton, Virginia. However, enrollment continued to rise, and as the number of students climbed towards 100, the school decided to obtain permits for land and a building. In 1982, the main building of Fresta Valley Christian school was completed on the property of the Buckley family, where the school started. After additions to the building in 1987, 1992, 1996, and 2002, the school's infrastructure reached its current state.

Athletics

Fresta Valley Christian School is involved with 2 separate sport conferences. The VACA (Virginia Association of Christian Athletes) and the VMSC (Valley Middle School Conference) sponsor most of the athletic sporting events that Fresta Valley is involved with. The VACA is made up of eighteen different Christian school teams, which are split into Northern and Southern divisions, providing both regional and state levels of competition. The VMSC is composed of seven different private and Christian middle school teams, mostly residing in northern Virginia.

    For the majority of Christian denominations, the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is believed to be the third divine person of the Trinity, a triune god manifested as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each being God. Nontrinitarian Christians, who reject the doctrine of the Trinity, differ significantly from mainstream Christianity in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit. In Christian theology, pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit. Due to Christianity's historical relationship with Judaism, theologians often identify the Holy Spirit with the concept of the Ruach Hakodesh in Jewish scripture, on the theory that Jesus was expanding upon these Jewish concepts. Similar names, and ideas, include the Ruach Elohim, Ruach YHWH, and the Ruach Hakodesh. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit is identified with the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Truth, and the Paraclete (helper).
