Attach the Following Items Photocopies of certificates held College transcript(s) References OCS Statement of Faith We believe that in Jesus Christ all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority." Colossians 2:9-10 We believe that the Bible (scripture) is the only perfect, inerrant, inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God and "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." II Timothy 3:16-17 We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is God s eternal Son. Born of a virgin, He took the form of man and through His sinless life He taught men how to live. He was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins. He rose from the dead and returned to Heaven to prepare a place for us. He will come again to receive all believers into the presence of God. 4
We believe in the necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature. We believe in the justification of many by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ. We believe men and women were created in God s image, were tempted by Satan and rebelled against God. We believe through repentance and personal faith in Christ, we become known as Christians ; we are forgiven of our sins, reborn in a new relationship with God and placed into the body of Christ. We believe in a future resurrection -- the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of eternal death. We believe marriage, as sanctioned by God in the Bible, joins one man and one woman in an exclusive union. We affirm the biblical principles relating to marriage and sexuality as detailed in the OCS policy on Sexual Immorality, Sexuality and Biblical Marriage. I fully support the Oklahoma Christian School Statement of Faith without any reservations. I support this Statement of Faith except for what I have explained on a separate sheet of paper.

Role of the OCS Teacher The primary responsibility of the teacher is maintaining a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The teacher strives to stimulate students to develop a personal relationship with Jesus as well. OCS must be distinctively Christian and at the heart of this purpose and philosophy is the Christian school teacher. I fully understand and support the OCS mission, core values, and role of the OCS teacher.
