- Belief in the authority and reliability of the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word
of God. The Bible is the complete and final revelation of God concerning all matters
of faith, truth and practice. All truth is God's truth (II Timothy 3:16; II
Peter 1:20-21).
- Belief in the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God who is sovereign over all (Revelation
4:2; Psalm 45:6; 139:8; Isaiah 66:1). His sovereignty is seen in acts of
creation (Genesis 1:1, 31), salvation (John 6:44), and continual care (Matthew
10:29-31; Hebrews 7:25).
- Belief in the Trinity, of the one true God (Matthew 28:19), the deity of Jesus
Christ (I Timothy 3:16; John 1:1; 10:30), His virgin birth (Luke 1:30-35),
sinless life (Romans 8:3; Hebrews 4:15), miracles (Mark 1:27; John 2:11),
atonement for our sins by His blood sacrifice (Matthew 26:28), His bodily
resurrection (John 20:1-9), ascension, His personal return in power and glory (Mark
16:19, 13:26).
- Belief in the Holy Spirit as teacher of God's Truth (John 14:17) and as giver
of new life in Christ and who unites all believers in Christ (Titus 3:5).
- Belief that man is the crown of God's creation. God endowed man with His image and
gave him the responsibility to rule the earth (Genesis 1:26-27).
- Belief that sin has severely broken the relationships between God and man (Romans
3:23), man and himself, man and other men (James 4:1), and man and nature (Romans
8:20-22).
- Belief that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came to earth to offer cleansing for
man's sin, and to heal these broken relationships through His cross (Romans 5:1-2).
- Belief that man cleansed through Christ must seek to live out his life in total
commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, which involves reestablishing all the original
relationships God intended for him (Ephesians 4:1).
- Belief in a need for clearly defined goals and objectives centered in the Word of God
for the development and growth of the whole person (spiritual, mental, emotional, social
and physical) and for the establishing of proper priority in an individual's life (Proverbs
1:7; I Corinthians 10:31).
- Belief that God established the family as the basic unit of society. Parents are
ultimately responsible for the instruction and discipline of their children. The
Christian School is simply an extension of the educational process of the family and the
church providing a supportive basis of encouragement to the family and the church (Ephesians
5:22-23; Proverbs 22:6).
- Belief that a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and God's Word is necessary for those
who are involved in the education process (faculty, staff, administration and board) (II
Timothy 3:16).
- Belief that a true Christian is one who has received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord by
faith. We believe good works to be the inevitable result of true faith (Romans
10:9; Ephesians 2:8, James 2:17-18; I John 2:3-40).
