Education is discipleship. Therefore, Trinity Academy makes no distinction between faith and practice. All teachers, administrators, school board members, volunteers and parent(s) enrolling their children declare unconditional acceptance of the following beliefs as declared in the Statement of Faith.

 

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative and inerrant Word of God as found in the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21).

 

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1-2; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 10:27-33).

​

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the eternal existing creator, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father. He intercedes for His church, rules over all things on her behalf, and remains present among His people through the Holy Spirit. (John 10:33; Matthew 1:23; 1 Peter 2:21-22; John 2:11; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 4:8-10; Acts 1:11).

 

We believe that individuals are justified solely on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation is exclusively offered as a gift by God’s grace and received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone as our Savior and Lord. This faith  accomplishes the complete forgiveness of sin and regeneration by the Holy Spirit to ensure that we are saved and preserved by the power of God unto eternal salvation (Genesis 6:5, 8:21; John 3:16-19, 3:36, 5:24; Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:4-5).

 

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of everlasting life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of everlasting damnation (John 5:28-29).

​

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Chris which comprise the universal Christian church. The Church is the body of Christ and Jesus is the head. Those considered members of His Church are individuals who have embraced their identity as children of God through faith and the acknowledgment of Jesus as their Savior and Lord. (Matthew 18:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).

 

We believe that commitment to a local biblical church is essential for: healthy Christian community, service to fellow Chrisitans, spiritual growth and maturity, and participating in the mission of the Gospel (Matthew 18:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-13,

1 Corinthians 12:14-27; Hebrews 10:24-25). 

 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit which involves: convicting the lost world of the Gospel, converting sinners to new life, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, sealing all believers in ownership by God, and permanently indwelling all believers to enable them to live a godly life, minister to the church, and bear witness of the Gospel (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16; Galatians 5:16-26).

 

We believe the biblical view of marriage as the lifelong union between one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is intended exclusively for married couples. Marriage forms the bedrock of a stable society. Any form of sexual immorality, including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography, transgenderism and other behaviors contrary to biblical teachings, is considered sinful. (Matthew 15:18-20; Genesis 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:2). 

​

We believe God creates individuals as either male or female, each reflecting His image. While equal in dignity and personhood, men and women are distinct and complementary in their roles (Colossians 3:12-14; Luke 6:31; Genesis 1:26-27). 

​

We believe all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, born and unborn, and life begins at conception. Every person, being made in God's image, deserves compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Since all humanity is descended from Adam and Eve, all races are equally created in the image of God. As a result of these convictions, we are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalm 139; Jeremiah 1:5). ​

 

We believe that God created the world and all things out of nothing by His powerful Word, all for His own glory. Adam and Eve are historical persons created by God in a special formative act, and not from previously existing life forms. (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 20:8-11)

 

STATEMENT of Final Authority for Matters of Belief and Conduct​

 

At Trinity Academy, our beliefs extend beyond our Statement of Faith. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, has ultimate authority on truth, morality, and human conduct. The Board of Directors serves as the definitive authority for interpreting and applying the Bible in our faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline at Trinity.
