Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (II 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. (I 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.(I 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 whose 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)

The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Christ Classical Academy’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Board of Directors is Christ Classical Academy’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
