Charity Baptist School
I. PURPOSE:
Charity Baptist School is a ministry of Charity Baptist Church to act as an aid to sincere Christian parents in bringing up their families “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord”.
II. STATEMENT OF FAITH:
1. We believe the Bible ( KJV) to be the inspired, preserved Word of God and the only infallible, authoritative rule of faith and practice.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved: the former to the resurrection of life in heaven, and the latter to the resurrection of damnation in hell.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
