As a ministry of City Calvary Chapel, Seattle Christian Homeschool Co-op has adopted the CCC Statement of Faith.
The sole basis for our belief comes from the Bible in its entirety. It is the inspired, inerrant word of God and is the final authority on all matters on which it bears. We believe the Bible teaches that there is one infinite and personal God who is eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
God created mankind to have a loving relationship with Him, but we defied God by sinfully rejecting Him. As a result, each one of us needs God’s saving grace to end our separation from Him. This grace comes as a result of Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man, dying on the cross and rising from the dead. It was upon the cross He completely paid the price of our sinfulness and is now offering the gift of eternal life. If a person wants to receive this gift, he/she must repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ alone for eternal salvation.
As a ministry of City Calvary Chapel, we submit to the leadership of the Board of Elders in regards to issues of theological debate, such as creation. All classes will be taught from a Biblical world view perspective. If a class involves creation, teachers will teach a young earth literal interpretation of the Genesis account in accordance with the guidelines of City Calvary Chapel.
As a member of First Class Homeschool Ministries we also agree with their statement of faith.
1. The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)
2. God has existed from all eternity in three Persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
3. Jesus was God and came in human flesh, being fully God and fully man, except without sin. (John 1:1-2, 14)
4. All men are in violation of God’s righteous requirements and His holy character both by nature and act. (Romans 3:23 and 5:12)
5. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man’s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, the successful accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent bodily resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:3)
6. Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
