Statement of Faith
  1. We believe that the Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, in the autographs, is the inerrant and complete Word of God; that there is divine and verbal plenary inspiration along with historical accuracy and infallibility, thus making the Scriptures the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-18; II Peter 1:20-21; Jude 3). We agree that this strong belief in God’s Word leads to the conviction that sexual immorality and homosexuality are sinful and that such behaviors are therefore unacceptable for all (parents, staff, and students). (I Corinthians 6:18-20; I Thessalonians 4:3; I Corinthians 11:3; Romans 1:24-32).
  2. We believe in the "Tri-unity"; that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:21-22)
  3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Luke 1:30-35 , John 1:18; John 3:16; Philippians 2:5-11)
  4. We believe that man was created in the image of God by a direct act of creation; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that, as a consequence, all mankind is declared by God to be totally depraved, having inherited a sinful nature and having become sinners in thought, word, and deed. We believe that there is the absolute necessity of the new birth for an individual’s salvation. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:16-17, 3:6,19; Romans 3:10-23, 6:23, 7:18, 11:32; Galatians 3:22)
  5. We believe in the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ, which is the complete sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, and only those who believe and receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior are justified on the basis of His shed blood. (Romans 3:24-28, 5:8-10; I Timothy 2:5, 6; I John 2:1,2)
  6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead in the same body in which He was crucified; that He ascended into Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church. We also believe in the resurrection of the just, the everlasting blessedness of the just, and the everlasting conscious punishment and damnation of the unjust. (John 20:1-49; Acts 1:9-11; I Corinthians 15:5-50; Ephesians 1:20-23; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Hebrews 1:3; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:22)
  7. We believe that on the sole condition of personal faith in Jesus Christ, men are born again by the Holy Spirit; that at regeneration, all believers in this age are also indwelt by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption, thus securing for the believer his salvation for all eternity. We also believe in the sanctifying works of the Holy Spirit. (John 7:17; Romans 3:24-28, 8:9-11; I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:30, 5:26; Hebrews 10:14; Colossians 3:1-4; I John 3:1-3)
  8. We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all who are born again during this age of grace. We also believe that this Church Universal is to gather together as local churches after the pattern of the New Testament doctrine and practice, including the observance of the two ordinances of believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper. Since God performs the ministry of His Church through its members to whom He has given gifts for the purpose of edifying the Body of Christ, the believer has the responsibility and privilege to be active and faithful to a local church that preaches the Word of God. (Acts 2:1-47; Romans 12:1-8; I Corinthians 11:23-34, 12:1-31; Ephesians 1:22,23)
  9. We believe in the “blessed hope”, the rapture of the church. Jesus Christ will come again personally and bodily, to receive the Church, His Bride, unto Himself in Heaven. He will return visibly to the earth with His saints to establish His millennial kingdom. (Acts 1:11; I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; II Peter 3:1-3; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-6.)
  10. We believe that the Great Commission was given to the Church and that this task of world evangelism is the mission of the Church today. (Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 10:9-17; Eph.4:7-16)
  11. We believe in the will, power, and providence of God to meet our every need in His service. (Philippians 4:19)
  12. We believe that the consistency of personal behavioral standards is vitally important for the reputation of the individual as well as Plymouth Christian Academy. Therefore, the behavioral standards that students hold at school must extend to their life away from school as well. We believe that any student use of, or involvement on or off campus, with tobacco, drugs, alcohol, profanity, immorality, possession/use/or threat of the use of weapons, or ungodly behavior may result in dismissal from Plymouth Christian Academy. Each student will show honor to the Godhead, the Word of God, and to the United States of America.
