that there is only one living true God: an infinite, intelligent Spirit, perfect in all His attributes, one in essence but eternally subsistent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all equal in power and glory (Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14).

3

that Jesus Christ is the express image of the invisible God, which is to say He is God. We believe that He became man, was without sin, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and that He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin. We believe that He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified and that He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He is now, our interceding High Priest. We believe that He will return again personally, visibly, and gloriously (John 1:1-14; 20:1-9; 24-31; Matthew 1:18; 24-30; Hebrews 4:15; 9:15 & 28).

4

all humans are sinful by nature (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and can only be forgiven by the expression of trust in Jesus as Savior (John 3:16), brought about by the regeneration and transformation work of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).

5

in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian can live a godly life (Romans 8:1-17).

6

that the family is the basic government, social and spiritual unit created by God. In it, the child gradually learns self-government, social relationship, and develops a relationship with the Creator and Savior (Ephesians 6:1-4 and Colossians 3:20). The family also provides protection from ever-extensive government and over- stimulating social environments.

7

“family” to mean a male and female with one or more children (Genesis 1:26-28 and James 1:27) whether related directly by blood, adopted, or under legal guardianship. We further recognize the exception of single parenthood.

8

the ultimate responsibility for the education of children belongs to their parents (Deuteronomy 4:1-9; 6:1-25). We believe this in an inalienable right given by God, which the State cannot create, destroy, or alter. Parents may allow one another to teach some of the cognitive information that all children need to know, but all education must be under the control and supervision of the parents. We believe that Christian education in the home is the best form of education for children.

9

that all education is religious in nature, since one’s own view of the world and life inevitably comes from learning (Proverbs 2:1-8; 3:1-2; 6:20-23 and Matthew 28:18-20). We believe that every discipline of knowledge (mathematics, science, history, etc.) will have as its final reference point a theistic or humanistic view of reality (Colossians 1:15-20; 2:8-15), and thus, there are no neutral academic disciplines. Thus, we believe that all social, physical, and cognitive knowledge should have as its foundation, the fear of God, and as its end the glory of God (Proverbs 1:7 and Romans 11:33-36).

1

the anti-Christians tenets of secular humanism, including the general theory of evolution, one world government, government mandated sex education and government mandated parenting classes, modern feminist ideology, abortion, and euthanasia.

2

homosexual marriages or homosexual orientation because it is contrary to the Word of God, the Bible and the intentions of God in creation (Romans 1:18-32). We believe that such relationships are destructive to the individuals directly involved, destructive to children, and destructive to the very idea of family. We also reject transitory co-habitational (unmarried) relationships as being equally in violation of God’s laws and incapable of providing the long term nurturing and instruction needed by children as commanded by God (Proverbs 1:8-9, 2:1-3:12; Colossians 3:2 and Ephesians 6:1-4). In view of this, no homosexual(s) or co-habitating parent(s) are eligible for membership.
