Statement of Faith
HSCC/CKGA Statement of Faith and Code of Conduct
This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, as the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Homeschool Community Connection (HSCC), and Children of the Kingdom Global Academy’s’(CKGA), faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Executive Committee and Board of Directors are the final authority on the interpretation.
HSCC/CKGA is a Christian-based organization that supports the call to minister to homeschooling families and their communities. Our homeschool community organizations believe the Word of God in its entirety calls us to be salt and light in a very dark world. As believers committed to the cause of Christ, we believe marriage is between a man and a woman.
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen. 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen. 2:18-25.) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4.) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10.)
We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of HomeSchool Community Connection and Children of the Kingdom Global Academy as part of the local Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the HSCC/CKGA members and the community, it is imperative that all persons tutoring/teaching in HSCC/CKGA in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thess 5:22.)
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.)
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of HSCC/CKGA program.
