Our Statement of Faith

	The Bible
1.	We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, infallible and authoritative in both faith and conduct.
	God
2.	We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
	Jesus Christ
3.	We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary death on the cross and redemption through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
	Holy Spirit
4.	We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells and empowers the believer for godly living and service to the glory of Jesus Christ.
	God's Relationship To Man
5.	We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin, and is therefore condemned already, and only by grace through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is regeneration possible by the Holy Spirit
	Salvation
6.	We believe that man is saved by grace, the divine influence on the heart and reflected upon the life: through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and that faith is given to us by God and it is not of works, i.e. water baptism, or other religious ordinances, so that God gets the glory and not man. (Eph. 2:8-9, 1 Peter 3:18)
	The Body Of Christ
7.	We believe in the spiritual unity of born-again believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

While this simple statement does not cover all areas of doctrine and theology, we are sensitive to Christian parents right to disagree in the non-essentials of our faith. As teachers, staff, and board we are seeking to model how Christians can have differing views in love and respect.
