The following statements are the foundation of beliefs from which the philosophy and practice of Wickenburg Christian Academy are based. These statements are also essential elements of biblical Christianity that we will purposefully and clearly teach to our students through all grade levels.
The substance of these statements will be considered primary doctrine at our School. Secondary doctrines are issues that are non-essential to biblical Christianity; such positions will not be presented as primary doctrine. Secondary doctrines (i.e. the use of charismatic gifts, modes of baptism, or denominational distinctives) may be discussed in classes.
However, Wickenburg Christian Academy shall not promote, condone, or adopt secondary doctrinal positions. When inquiries or concerns regarding such doctrines and their meaning arise, students will be referred to their families and local churches for counsel.
We believe:
· The Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20,21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12-14)
· There is only one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14)
· God is absolute and sole Creator of the universe and that creation was by divine order, not through evolutionary process. (Gen. 1:1)
· In the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; Luke 1:35; Rom. 3:24,25 and 8:34; 1 Pet. 1:3-5 and 2:24; Eph. 1:7; Acts 1:9; Heb. 7:25 and 9:24; 1 John 2:1,2)
· In the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature and that men and women are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31; Rom. 10:13; 1 Pet. 1:18,19)
· In 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. (Matt. 25:46; John 5:28,39)
· In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 12)
· In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. (Gal. 5:16-25; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 3:10; 1 Pet. 1:14,16; 1 John 3:5-9)
WCA neither supports nor endorses the World or National Council of Churches, or any world, national, regional, or local organizations, which give Christian recognition to non-believers or advocate a multi-faith union.
