"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."I Timothy 4:12-16
GOD - There is one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is the personal sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, and the Source and End of all truth.
SCRIPTURE - The Bible is the written Word of God, without error in its original writings, the authority by which God directs and governs all our activities, including the education of our children.
JESUS CHRIST - He is the eternal Son of God, who became man in our own history, and so was and continues to be God and man, in two distinct natures, and one person, forever. Through His incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension, He accomplished for His people victory over sin and death. He will return in glory.
MAN - Man was created in the image of God as a rational, moral, and spiritual being. He sinned in Adam and fell with him in his first transgression. Man's fall affected the totality of his life. The child is not to be seen as a higher form of animal, the result of an evolutionary process, but as the unique creation of God, and a fallen creature in need of salvation.
SALVATION - is by God's grace alone. Man can be restored to God only by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Man must repent and believe the Gospel, or be lost eternally.
