BELIEFS
Statements of Faith: These Statements of Faith represent what City Christian School believes to be core elements of biblical teaching and are expected to be affirmed in all areas.
 

1. Scripture – We believe in the accepted canon of the Scriptures that is inspired by God as originally given. We believe in the infallibly and uniquely authoritative quality of Scripture that is free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal; including scientific and historical, as well as moral and theological (2 Tim 3:16; 1 Cor 2:13).
 

2. God, Himself – We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed himself as one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible we affirm the Trinity is co-equal, co-eternal, and co-existent (Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14).
 

3. The Lord Jesus Christ – We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of Humanity, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. He is the only sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the world and the perfect mediator that imputes his righteousness to all those who believe (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:16).
 

4. Christ’s Death and Resurrection – We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to his disciples (1 Cor 15:14; Rom 4:25).
 

5. Christ’s Bodily Ascension – We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to Heaven, His exaltation, and His personal, literal, and bodily coming again the second time for the Church (John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
 

6. Salvation by Grace Through Faith – We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12, 22; Romans 5:11).
 

7. Origin of Humanity – We believe God created humanity, male and female. We believe in the test and fall of humanity and through God’s grace redemption through Christ (Rom 3:10-18).
Distinctives of Faith: These distinctives of Faith reflect what distinguishes City Christian School from other schools that would affirm our statements of faith. These distinctives shape the way that City Christian School is led and the direction the school is headed.
 

8. Marriage – We believe in the sacrament and sanctity of marriage as established by the Holy Scriptures, which is a life-long covenant joining one man and one woman. (Gen 2:24; Rom 7:2-3; 1 Cor 7:10-11; Eph 5:22-33).
 

9. Biblical History – We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the Biblical record of primeval history. (Gen 1-11).
 

10. Water Baptism – We believe in the sacrament of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ and is a unique channel of grace (Matt 28;19; Acts 2:37-39; 19:1-6).
 

11. Baptism of the Holy Spirit – We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a sovereign act of God that the believer continually experiences through faith and surrender (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Gal 3:14-15; Eph 5:18).
 

12. The Gifts of the Spirit – We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are a vital part of the believer and the church today and are imparted to the believer for the edification of the church (1 Cor 12-14; Rom 12:6-8; Eph 4).
 

13. Healing – We believe God heals the body and soul through three main channels: miracles, medicine, and glorification. (Acts 4:30; Rom 8:11; 1 Cor 12:9; James 5:1).
 

14. Communion – We believe in the sacrament of the Table of the Lord for believers, commonly called Communion. It is a unique channel of grace where the believer experiences a substantial reality of Christ. (John 6:22-59; 1 Cor 11:28-32).
 

15. Tithes, Offerings, and Prosperity – We believe the tithe (the first ten percent of our income) is an act of obedience, giving to the Lord what He says is His. The offering is an act of generosity, giving to God what He says is ours. We believe prosperity is the heart of God for every believer for the purpose of building the Church through wise stewardship. (Deut 8:18; 2 Cor 9:6-15).
 

16. Eternal Life – We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3:16) and eternal separation for unbelievers (Mark 9:43-58; 2 Thess 1:9; Rev 20:10-15).
 

17. Satan & His Judgment – We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and the eternal judgment of Satan and his angels (Matt 25:41; Rev 20:10-15).
