Statement of Faith

CAC, its staff, and board members embrace the historic tenets of Christianity as presented in this Statement of Faith. We are in essential agreement with these creeds and confessions when they speak to the doctrinal issues addressed in this statement of faith.  We respect and acknowledge the primacy of the family and their churches, and refer any other doctrinal questions to parents and their churches for clarification. This statement of faith and all other doctrinal issues the school affirms will be established and resolved by the Bible.

  • We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are alone the perfect, inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God and, as such, rightly interpreted are the final authority in faith and practice. (Jeremiah 30:2; Psalm 19:7-9; Matthew 24:35; Galatians 1:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Revelation 22:18-19)

  • We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth; He alone is sovereign over all things, ordaining whatsoever comes to pass. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-13, 45:5-25; Daniel 4:34-37; Malachi 3:6; Matthew 28:19; Acts 17:25-31; Romans 11:33-36; 1 John 5:7)

  • We believe God created all things out of nothing, for His own glory and good pleasure, and for the display of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness. Having created all things, God created man in His image, male and female, perfect, sinless, and immortal, and He charged mankind with the governance of the created world to cultivate it for His glory. (Genesis 1-2; Psalm 19:1, 24:1; Colossians 1:15-18; Hebrews 1:10)

  • We believe in the historicity of Adam and Eve, our first parents; we believe that though they were created sinless, they did not remain in that perfect state, but willfully and consciously disobeyed their Creator’s command. Consequently, the guilt of Adam’s sin and his fallen nature are transferred to all mankind. (Genesis 2:7-25, Romans 5:12-19, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)

  • We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and sin-atoning death on a cross by the shedding of His blood, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in glory and power. (Luke 1:27-35, 24; John 1:1-4, 14, 10:30, 14:10, 20:30-31, 21:25; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 1:19; Revelation 19:11-20:4)

  • We believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live Godly lives. (Romans 6:12-13, 8:7-14; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:19-20, 5:22-25)

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:11-22, 4:3-6)

  • We believe the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. (Psalm 16:5-11, 86:9, 144:15; Isaiah 12:2; Luke 2:10; Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 6:20, 10:31; Philippians 4:4; Revelation 4:4, 21:3-4)

  • We believe that men are justified by faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved. (Romans 3:20-28, 4:5-6, 5:1; Galatians 3:10-14, 22, 5:4-5; Ephesians 2:8-9)

  • We believe that faith without works is dead. (Galatians 5:6; Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:11-12, 14; James 2:14-26)

  • We believe marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. (Genesis 1:27-28, Malachi 2:14-16, Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 7:1-16, Ephesians 5:21-33, 1 Peter 3:1-7)

  • We believe that sexual purity is confined to Biblical marriage and that all forms of fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and pornography are morally depraved and they are a perversion to God’s mandated design. (Matthew 5:28, 15:19-20; Romans 1:24-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; Galatians 5:19-21; Hebrews 13:4)

  • We believe in the sanctity of human life, under the government of God, and that the extinguishing of life through abortion, suicide, homicide, or active euthanasia (assisted suicide) is biblically classified as sin.

  • (Genesis 1:27; Exodus 20:13; Job 31:15; Psalm 119:73, 139:14-15; Ecclesiastes 11:5)
