Statement of Faith

1. The Authority of Scripture
– We affirm that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired Word of God.
– The entire Scriptures, consisting of 66 books divided into the Old and New Testaments, are God-breathed and serve as the absolute authority.
– God’s Word forms the base, premise, and foundation for our lives as Christians.

2. The Nature of God
– We acknowledge one infinite, eternal, holy, and glorious God (Psalm 147:5; Deuteronomy 33:27; Isaiah 6:3).
– He is the Great I AM (Exodus 3:14), characterised by love (1 John 4:8), grace (Joel 2:13), and mercy (Ephesians 2:4).
– God exists as Almighty, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

3. Creation and Purpose
– We affirm that God created the world in six literal days and rested on the seventh.
– Humanity, made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), exists for the glory of God (Isaiah 43:7).
– Our purpose is to live with Him and for Him, finding absolute joy, purpose, and satisfaction.

4. The Fall and Condemnation
– We recognise that humanity has sinned against God and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23).
– As a result, we are condemned to eternal punishment in hell, satisfying the just requirements of a perfect, holy God.

5. Salvation by Grace through Faith
– We acknowledge that salvation is solely by God’s grace, received through faith.
– We cannot save ourselves.
– God, in His grace, sent His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world (John 3:16).
– Jesus, fully God and fully man, died on the cross to pay the penalty for sin, rose from the dead (1 Thessalonians 4:14), and ascended to be with the Father.
– All who repent and believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour receive God’s gift of grace.
– Fallen sinners, rescued by Jesus’ saving grace, have the absolute assurance of salvation (John 5:24) and are adopted into God’s family.

Our school adheres to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. Nothing will be taught that is contrary to this.
