STATEMENT OF FAITH

These core beliefs are what drive all that we do. 

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ’s love, which is greater than any differences we possess, and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians. John 13:34-35


We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who exists eternally as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Gen 1:1, Col 1:16-17, John 1:3, John 16:13, I Cor 8:6, Gen 1:26


We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Ps 19:7-8, 2Tim 3:16, 1Thess 2:13


We believe in Jesus Christ, begotten by the Father, who is fully God and fully man at the same time, who became like us to bring about our salvation. John 1:1-4, 14, John 3:16


We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us. Luke 1:26-27, 2Cor 5:21, Rom 3:25, 1 John 2:2, 1 Cor 15:3-4, Acts 2:32-33,
Heb 4:14-15, Rom 8:34


We believe that each person must repent, turn away from his sins, and accept Christ through faith alone as Lord and Savior. All those who receive Him are saved by grace through faith, not of works, accepted into the body, kept by God’s power, assured of their salvation, and secure in Christ forever. Rom 3:23, Rom 8:1-4, Acts 26:20, Rom 6:23, Rom 10:9-10, I John 3 3:23, Eph 2:8-9


We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict individuals of sin, indwell the body of the believer, guide us in all truth, instruct us in righteousness, and empower the believer for Godly living and service. John 16: 7-8, 1 Cor 6:19, 1 Cor 12:7, John 16: 7-8


We believe in the spiritual unity of believers through our common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that individual doctrinal differences which may exist aside from these foundational beliefs should not hinder the unity of Christian home educators.
