CALVARY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL of NEWARK


Doctrinal Statement

  1. We believe that the Bible was written under God's direction so that we have today a perfect statement of what God wants us to know about Him and how we are to live.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally in existence in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are equal in authority and power.
  3. We believe that God created all things in heaven and in earth, and is therefore the Master of the Universe.
  4. We believe that humans were created to have fellowship with God, but because of our stubborn self-will, which the Bible calls sin, we chose to go our own independent way; thus we broke fellowship with God, condemning ourselves to eternal separation from Him.
  5. We believe that Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man. He lived a sinless life, died as a substitute for the punishment of our rebellion against God, and physically rose again from the dead in order to make it possible for humans to return to fellowship with God.
  6. We believe that the work of Christ makes it possible for us to realize sinfulness and to entrust our lives and eternal destiny to Christ, resulting in renewed fellowship with God. This is a free gift from God and not the result of human efforts.
  7. We believe that God the Holy Spirit lives within everyone who has entrusted their life to God, enabling that person to discover the wonderful plan that God has for their life. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives that we can overcome the temptations of Satan, the World, and our Flesh.
  8. We believe that Jesus Christ will be coming back again to Earth to receive His believers, and to finally judge the world.
  9. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
