3 STATEMENTS OF FAITH United Christian School will teach and witness the following concepts of faith. 1. BIBLE We believe that the Holy Bible is the written Word of the living God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and recorded by holy men of old. It is infallible in content, will remain eternally and is the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried. 2. GOD We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. DEITY OF CHRIST We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 4. MAN We believe that man in his natural state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope, and without God. 5. SALVATION We believe that the terms of salvation are repentance to God for sin, and a personal and heartfelt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in the new birth of a person. This salvation is entirely by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and not of our works. 6. BLOOD ATONEMENT We believe in the saving power through the blood of Jesus and His imputed righteousness. 7. ASCENSION We believe that Jesus Christ ascended to the Father and is presently engaged in building a place for us in Heaven and is interceding for the saints. 8. SECOND COMING We believe in the visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to this earth. 9. HEAVEN AND HELL We believe that Heaven and Hell are definite places. 10. BODY OF CHRIST We believe the Body of Christ is made up of all who have been born again into the Kingdom of God, regardless of denominational differences. We believe in the spirit of unity while allowing for variety in individual ministries as to their work, calling and locality as directed by the Holy Spirit. 11. HOLY SPIRIT We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third person of the Trinity whose purpose in the redemption of men is to convict of sin, regenerate the repentant believer, guide the believer into all truth, in-dwell and give gifts to believers as He wills so that they may minister as Christ would to us. 12. MARRIAGE We believe that God created man and woman, and that marriage is exclusively between one man and one woman as defined in scripture. I have read and accept that the above Statements of Faith will be taught in the classroom and on the UCS campus. Applicant Signature Date 3
