I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic [universal] and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen

Actively work at the building and nourishing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Studying God's Word, maintaining an active prayer life, worshiping with fellow believers, making oneself accountable to others, and sharing one's faith are vital components of a growing relationship.

Think about things that are true, noble, right, and pure (Phil. 4:8). Avoid influences that distract one's mind, recognizing that what occupies the mind will sooner or later determine one's speech and actions.

Choose friends and associations carefully (Psalm 1:1). One tends to become like the people with whom one associates. Understand the progressive nature of sinful activities.

Encourage one another and build each other up (I Thes. 5:11). Avoid destructive, unkind, and unnecessary words or deeds. Take care that one's attitudes and actions positively influence others, and do not become a stumbling block (Romans 14:13).

Communicate directly with one another in the spirit of love (Matthew 18:15-17). Avoid gossip, talking behind one another's back, or holding bitterness.

Respect authority (I Peter 2:17). Honor God, obey and respect the laws of our country, the standards of one's parents/guardians, and the expectations of one's school and communities.

Be honest and above reproach (Proverbs 8:7). Always speak the truth and avoid even the appearance of dishonesty. Refrain from stealing, lying, cheating, and gambling.

Care for the body as a "temple of God" (I Cor. 6:19). Refrain from the possession and use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, illegal drugs, abusing prescription drugs, or any other harmful substance or activities. Students are expected to “flee” from the presence and association of any inappropriate or illegal activities (Eph. 5:3-7).

Maintain biblical standards of morality (I Cor. 6:18). Save sex for what and when God intended, within the sanctity of marriage.

Demonstrate self-control (James 1:9). “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” When you sin, seek forgiveness and make amends.
