Statement of Faith and Values
 |
We believe the Bible to be
the inspired, the only infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
 |
We believe that there is
one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
He has revealed Himself in creation, history and in Jesus Christ.
 |
We believe in God’s
creation of the world and humankind and in humanity’s rebellion and
subsequent depravity.
 |
We believe in the person
and work of Jesus Christ, including His deity, His virgin Birth, His sinless
life, His true humanity, His miracles, His substitutionary death, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension to heaven where He sits at the right hand of the
Father, and in His coming personal return in power and in glory.
 |
We believe that eternal
salvation of depraved humanity is wholly of grace through personal faith in
the finished work of Jesus Christ.
 |
We believe in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to
live a godly life and to grow in the knowledge of God and Christian
obedience.
 |
We believe in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost – the saved unto the
resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
 |
We believe in the separation of the church and
state with each having distinct spheres of responsibility before God.
 |
We believe in the sanctity
of life.
 |
We believe
that only the marriage of a man and a woman is instituted by God, and
although the Bible states that divorce is permissible in two unusual
circumstances (adultery as described in Matthew 5:31, and abandonment of a
Christian by a non-Christian as described in I Corinthians 7:15), we will do
all we can to preserve marriage.
|
 |
We believe that
children are a gift from God and
that God has established the home as the primary learning center for them
with the church and the school as parent selected extensions of it.
|
 |
We believe that all psychological
principles
should be thoroughly evaluated through the grid of Scripture, and that
Scripture always holds the final authority.
