7 PRIVATE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION DISCLOSURE As a private Christian school, Agape Academy is a religious organization. While commerce laws prohibiting arbitrary discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age and disability apply generally to religious organizations, a religious organization is allowed to discriminate on the basis of its religious beliefs. This exception is rooted in the constitutional right to free exercise of religion. As a private school, Agape Academy considers academic performance to be criteria relevant to decisions regarding student admission and retention. As a religious organization, Agape Academy will neither commence nor continue admission, enrollment or employment if it is believed by Agape Academy that such will cause confusion about, conflict with, or compromise of the schools mission to provide a distinctly Christian education from a Christ-centered worldview. In that regard, Agape Academy conforms to the orthodox teachings of the historical Christian Church as set forth in the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, all of which we believe to be our infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice. Any decision to discriminate on the basis of religious belief will be made by the Head of School, subject to review by the Board of Trust. This policy applies to and is incorporated into all Agape Academy affairs, including all Agape Academy contracts, programs, activities, facilities, publications, and events. DOCTRINAL STATEMENT Please carefully read our Doctrinal Statement and indicate below your degree of support: A. We believe that the Bible, consisting of 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, verbally inspired, free from error in doctrine, fact and ethic, and inerrant in the original writings, is the word of God and the only infallible and authorative rule of faith and practice. B. We believe in the Holy Trinity, one God eternally existent in the three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - same substance, equal in power and glory. C. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and of his personal physical return in power and glory. D. We believe that God created man in His own image but that through sin, man brought upon himself and his posterity not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God; that all human beings by physical birth possess a sinful nature. E. We believe that the salvation of lost and sinful man is a free gift of God s grace apart from works, based solely upon Christ s vicarious and atoning death, effected by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and received by trusting in Christ s finished work on the cross, and that this salvation is eternally secured to all believers. F. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling upon salvation the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, that it is incumbent upon every believer to walk worthy of his calling - to walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. G. We believe in the resurrection of the body of both the saved and the lost - they that are saved to the resurrection of life everlasting and they that are lost to the resurrection to eternal damnation. H. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. I fully support the Disclosure Statement and the Doctrinal Statement as written, without reservations: Signed Date 7
