Statement of Faith
There are many precious truths taught in the Bible over which Godly men have differed in understanding. Therefore, this is not a statement of all that is important to believe, but an affirmation of the fundamental truths we (the administrative staff ) believe.
It is important to note that Families of Faith Christian Academy is not a church, nor is it under the direction of a particular church. It is assumed that individuals will be faithful to their own churches. We have banded together to advance the education and faith of our children and ourselves, but, in our setting, we strive to follow Paul's admonition in Titus 3:9,
"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and confrontations, and stirrings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."
We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be verbally inspired of God and to be inerrant and infallible. We believe it is the only and final authority for faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21)
We believe in one God, who is the Creator of all things by a direct act, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1;1, John 10:30, 37-38)
We believe by the miracle of the virgin birth, that the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, in order to reveal God and to redeem man, that He died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice and rose bodily from the dead for our justification.
We believe He is now exalted at the right hand of God, that He is the Head of the Church, the Lord of the individual believer, that He is ministering as our Great High Priest and Advocate and that we are awaiting His bodily return. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 4:15, 7:25, 9:12, Acts 1:11, John 2:11, 11:25 and Rev. 19:11-15.)
We believe salvation is the free gift of God (neither merited nor secured in part or in whole by any virtue or work of man) to be received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom all true believers have, as a present possession, the gift of eternal life, a perfect righteousness, Sonship in the family of God, deliverance and security from all condemnation, every spiritual resource needed for life and Godliness, and the divine guarantee that they shall never perish. (John 3:16-19, 5:24, Romans 3:19, Ephesians 2:18-19, Titus 3:5-6)
We believe that man, created in the image of God, sinned, incurring not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God and which is inherited by every member of Adam's race. (Romans 5:12-21 )
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: They who are saved unto eternal life, and those who are lost unto eternal damnation. ( John 5:28-29 )
