PSCS Doctrinal Statement

We believe...

· that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and is the source of all truth. As a result, the Bible is an essential element in all areas of our curriculum and is taught at all levels according to the understanding level of the students. (I Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:1; II Pet. 2:16-21.)

· that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died a literal death upon a cross, and on the third day rose from the dead. We believe that Jesus Christ's death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins which is revealed clearly in the Bible. (Col. 1:15; 2:9ff, Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; I John 1:9.)

· that man is sinful by nature and that regeneration through Jesus Christ is essential for salvation and eternal life. (Romans 3:23; 6:23.)

· that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is ongoing today, and the Holy Spirit indwells Christians and enables them to live a righteous life as obedience to the Word of God is practiced. (Romans 8:1-26; Eph. 5:18.)

· in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - those who are saved to eternal life, and those who are lost to eternal punishment. (Rev. 20:11-15.)

· in the spiritual unity of all believers in one body through Jesus Christ. (Rom. 15:5; I Cor. 12:12-21.)

· the world, the universe, and all living things were created by the direct Act of God. (Genesis 1 and 2; Col. 1:16.)

· that parents have the responsibility for the proper education of their children. Therefore, parents and teachers are to work together so that children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, for the purpose of living a life dedicated to the glory of God. (Eph. 6:14.)
