Statement of Faith
1. We believe
the Bible to be the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim. 3: 16-17)
2. We believe
in one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent and has all authority and power.
He is an intelligent, spiritual Being and Creator of the universe. Whatever He
purposes will come to pass. (Gen. 1; John 10:30, 37, 38)
3. We believe
in 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 the Father, and His personal
return in power and glory. (Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23)
4. We believe
that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit
is absolutely necessary. (Rom. 3:19)
5. We believe
that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” and are, therefore,
separated from God and deserve death. (Rom. 6: 23)
6. We believe
that Jesus Christ died for our sins so that our fellowship with God could be
restored, and we could live righteously. (1 Peter 2:24)
7. We believe
in the ongoing cleansing from sin through confession to God through the Lord
Jesus Christ. That God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and
forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (1
John 1:9; Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11)
8. We believe
that there is salvation in no other person than Jesus Christ, and that, “if you
confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” (Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:9, Acts 3:19)
9. We believe
salvation is by grace through faith alone; it is the free gift of God. (Eph.
2:8-9, Rom. 6:23)
10. We believe that faith
without works is dead. (James 2:17, 26)
11. We believe in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit, by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to
live a godly life. (Eph. 4:30, 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19-20)
12. We believe all Christians
are commissioned to go and make disciples and teach them to obey God’s
commands. (Matt. 28:19-20)
13. We believe in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost- the saved to resurrection of life
and the lost to resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29)
14. We believe Jesus Christ
unites all believers through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. (Gal.
3:26-28)
15. We believe that the Church
is being prepared as the eternal bride of Christ and is reflected on earth
through marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that the term
“marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a
single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God
intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married
to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual
activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
(Gen. 2:18-25, 1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Rev. 19:6-8, Eph. 5:22-33, Heb. 13:4)
16. We believe that God
wonderfully and immutably creates each person to reflect His image as
specifically male or female and these two distinct, complementary genders
together reflect the image and nature of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex
is a rejection of the image of God within that person. (Gen. 1:26-27, Matt.
19:4)
17. We believe that all human
life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable
worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the
physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from
conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend,
protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139)
18. We believe that any form of
sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior,
bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest and use of pornography) is sinful and
offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10)
19. We believe that in order to
preserve the function and integrity of Christ Classical Academy as the local
Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to Christ Classical
Academy members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed
by Christ Classical Academy in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree
to and abide by this Statement of Marriage, Gender and Sexuality. (Matt. 5:16;
Phil.2:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:22)
20. We believe that every person
must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and
harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be
repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Christ
Classical Academy. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31)
