STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe 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. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
This Statement of Faith must be signed for enrollment to be considered as well as the following:
In addition to the above statements of our faith, we do attest that we, parent(s) and children, regularly attend a local church assembly that adheres to the teachings in this Statement (Hebrews 10:25).
