Statement of Faith
-
We Believe that Jesus is Lord. (John 1:1-3, 14; Matthew 1:18-25; Philippians 2:5-9; Colossians 1:15; I Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:11)
- We Believe the Bible to be the only Divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
- We Believe there is only one living and true God. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Genesis 1:31)
- We Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and Savior of the world. We affirm His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and ministry, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His return in power and glory. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever-present Lord. (John 1:1-3,14; Matthew 1:18-25; Philippians 2:5-9; Colossians 1:15; I Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:11)
- We Believe that all are sinners; that no one can come to the Father except through Jesus Christ; that only by the grace of God can we repent, confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Savior and the Son of God; that He gave His life on a cross and was resurrected for the forgiveness of all sin; and that only through Jesus Christ can we attain the gift of righteousness and eternal salvation. (Genesis 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-23; 5:12-21; 6:23)
- We Believe that through the eternal trinity, God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The fully divine Spirit of God inspired scripture, exalts Christ, and convicts of sin. He indwells, enlightens and empowers the believer to righteousness through worship, evangelism, and service. John 14: 16-19; 16:7-15; I Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:11
- We Believe that following the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, there will be two resurrections; one to eternal condemnation and the other to eternal life and joy. Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21
- We Believe that God is transcendent, and for His own glory and by His own decree, the triune God created the entire universe in six days, including the earth, time, and all things, visible and invisible, living and nonliving, material and nonmaterial. The Book of Genesis lays the foundation for the understanding of origins, the purpose for mankind’s existence, and specifically for the doctrines of the Christian faith. (Genesis 1:1-2:3; Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 46:9-10; Nehemiah 9:6; 1 Timothy 1:17; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 22:13)
- We Believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God. Therefore, rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God with that person. (Genesis 1:26-27)
- We Believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matthew 15:18-20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
- We Believe that “marriage” has only one meaning: a solemn promise before God and a covenant relationship with God, that is officiated by an ordained legal authority which includes a marriage license and a signed marriage certificate. Marriage joins one biological man and one biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a biological man and a biological woman who are married to each other. (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4; Mark 10:6-8)
- 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. (Psalm 139)
- We Believe that every person should be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and inappropriate behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are not in accord with scripture and therefore will be repudiated. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
*The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs.
Statement of Final Authority
- The Bible itself, as the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning the truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Strong Rock Christian School’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Strong Rock Christian School Board of Trustees is Strong Rock Christian School’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
