The Dove represents spiritual development which symbolizes the Holy Spirit in the pursuit of the command to “be filled with the Spirit of God;”

The Torch represents the physical and social development as we train this generation to pass the torch of the Gospel to the next generation; 

The Harp represents the pursuit of excellence in music and all that we do; 

TheTwo Lions represent strength and honor while holding up the gospel of truth, each one encouraging the other to open their mouths boldly to “make known the mystery of the gospel” as ambassadors for Christ and to stand in the spiritual battles to come.

The Golden Knight represents the Christian who is “strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”  Who has “put on the whole armour of God” that they “may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”


The Creed written in Greek means "For God and Country"

Fishers Christian Academy Pledge
I am a warrior for the Lord Jesus Christ who is “strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”  
I must “put on the whole armor of God” that I “may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
I understand that I, “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”  
Therefore, I must put on “the whole armor of God,” that I “may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
I must have my “loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;” 
My feet must be “shod with the preparation of the gospel of  peace;” and above all,
I must take “the shield of faith,” wherewith I “shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
I must “take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
I must pray “always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”
“And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” to change the world for Christ.
