STATEMENT OF FAITH

• SCA adheres to a statement of faith as defined by the Bible. This involves specific elements of God’s nature, Biblical authority, man’s relationship with God and Biblical principles of childhood education. Specific elements of our statement of faith are listed from 1 to 9.
• We believe there is one supreme, infinite, personal God. He is the God of creation and the God of revelation (Genesis 1:1, Revelation 1:1)
• We believe Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, the mediator between God and man (John 14:6). He came to earth in human form, lived as man, was crucified, died, was buried and rose bodily from the dead on the third day (1Corinthians 15:3, 4).
• We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He lives in the believer, enabling that person to live a holy life. The Holy Spirit is the teacher and director of our daily lives (1Corinthians3:16, 6:19, 2Peter 1:21).
• We believe the Bible is the authoritative, authentic, complete Word of God. It is the complete revelation of God concerning all matters of faith, truth and practice (2Timothy 3:16).
• We believe man was created in God’s image as man and woman, with distinctive identities and roles (Genesis 1:26, 27). All men are born in sin. Man is accountable to God for his actions in relationship to God’s absolute standards. Thus man’s greatest need is reconciliation with God through rebirth, the gift of God’s grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Marriage is a picture of Christ’s relationship with the church (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:28-33) and is thus sanctified. Man’s purpose is to worship God (John 4:23, 24).
• We believe the education of children rests primarily with the family (as the God-ordained chief health, education and welfare institution of society) and then, by extension to the Christian school. Thus the two work together to achieve the goals that God has set out in Scripture (Deuteronomy 4:9, 6:7, Psalms 78:6-8, 1Samuel 3:13).
• We believe the foundation upon which knowledge is built is one of faith and virtue as taught by the authoritative Word of God. This knowledge must not be merely separated into academic subjects, but studied as it is integrated with the Word of God. It must illustrate Scripture and lend itself to practical application in the children’s lives (Psalms 119:9).
• We believe children must be taught that the wisdom of God is the desired goal for their lives. This wisdom comes from gaining knowledge of God’s holiness, responding to situations from the perspective of God’s principles as set out in Scripture, seeing levels of conflicts and discerning underlying causes (Proverbs 3:13, 23:23, Colossians 2:3).
• In John 14:6, Jesus states that HE is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. With this in mind, all subjects must be taught as part of the total truth of God. The unity of natural and special revelation must be brought forward. The truth in science, history, mathematics, art, literature and music, belong just as much to God as the truth in doctrine. God is the author of truth and therefore any truth that is genuine can be traced back to God and His Word. By extension, since God’s Word is truth, biblical truth embraces all truths and nothing is true outside the scope of Biblical truth.
