Foundations for Education

1. Concerning Scripture: We believe that the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments is the Bible. It is the inspired and inerrant Word of God that instructs Christian faith and practice.
2. Concerning God: We believe in one God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory and identical in essence and attributes.
3. Concerning God’s Providence: We believe that everything that happens is directed by God’s eternal will and purposes, which is shaped by His perfect wisdom, power, and love. This however does not make God the author of sin, nor does it take away human responsibility and accountability.
4. Concerning Sin: We believe that because Adam and Eve willing and knowingly disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, all humanity has inherited a sin nature that corrupts the soul and body, separates us from God, and brings us under God’s just and eternal condemnation.
5. Concerning Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and was fully God and fully man. He lived a life without sin, and died, voluntarily bearing God’s condemnation to save His people from their sins. But he was raised bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now reigns as the exalted head of His Body, the Church.
6. Concerning Salvation: We believe that salvation is a gift from God given through the Holy Spirit, and received by submission to the Lord Jesus Christ. Through this repentance and faith, all our sins are forgiven and we are accepted as innocent in God’s sight, not based on our works or abilities, but because of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
7. Concerning Sanctification: We believe that all believers receive and are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. This enables us to live a godly life, keeping in step with the Spirit by obedience and good works, proving our faith, not making us more acceptable to God. Because of the Holy Spirit’s continuing work, we are eternally secure in His faithful keeping.
8. Concerning the Return of Christ: We believe in the personal, bodily, and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to judge the world. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting punishment of the lost, and the everlasting bliss of the saints.
