Statement of Faith
Education, if it is to be truly Christian, must be by definition committed to the Old and New Testament as the only authoritative rule of faith and practice. The belief, theory, teaching and personal conduct of the staff, faculty and board must be above reproach biblically. Therefore, we affirm:
That the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God;
- That there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
- The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father and His personal return in power and glory;
- That for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential;
- That a person becomes justified by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;
- The present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life;
- The resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation;
- The spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and His church.
