Statement of Faith
The mission for this co-op is to provide a safe place for educational experiences and fellowship for families and children as we build into the next generation for Christ, and to encourage one another to walk in faith in all the promises of God, through Scripture, for His glory. In order to stay true to the mission and be an active ministry of the church, any parent who desires to teach a class must agree with a basic statement of faith, which matches that of the church. Any curriculum used must also adhere to the faith statement of the church.
About the Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible, alone, was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Biblical Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.
About God
We believe that there is one and only one living and true God. He exists in three distinct persons of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He is fatherly in His attitude toward all men. He exists as Christ, the eternal Son of God, who humbled himself and took on flesh, yet without sin. He gave his life as a substitute to redeem men from sin, and rose from the dead, conquering sin and death. He ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, for all believers. He exists as the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Holy Trinity, and is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. He enables men to understand truth of Scripture.
About Mankind
We believe man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God’s creation. Because of sin, only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God.
About Salvation
Salvation, the redemption of the whole man, is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. He, and He alone, reconciles the Universe to its Creator.
The Christian Life
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ. The Church We believe the church is the Body of Christ, of which Jesus is the head, which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
