Statement of Faith

Biblical Foundation and Core Beliefs

Emmanuel Christian Academy believes and teaches the following:

We believe there is only one true and living God, revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)

We believe God the Father is infinite and personal, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears and answers the prayers of believers, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:1, 1 John 1:9, Ephesians 1:5, John 14:6)

We believe Jesus Christ is God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, performed miracles, died on the cross to pay the price for our sins, rose from the dead on the third day, and then ascended to the right hand of the Father. We believe in and await His personal, visible return to power and glory. He is fully God and fully man, God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. (John 10:37-38, Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 4:15, John 2:11, Romans 6:23, 1 Corinthians 15:4, Mark 16:19, Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11, John 8:58)

We believe the scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscript and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe that all people are born with a sin nature in need of salvation, which is a free gift bestowed by God’s grace alone and received by faith, not by works. We assert that a believer’s salvation is secured by Christ alone and is available to anyone who chooses to accept His free gift. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 3:5-7, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9-10, John 10:27-28)
