· We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21).

​

· We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons - God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).

​

· We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:35; 2:7); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15); His miracles (John 2:11 ); His shed blood (Luke 22:20); His atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1 :7; Hebrews 2:9); His bodily resurrection (I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).

​

· We believe that by nature man is sinful, that salvation of the lost is possible by God's grace through faith, and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 3:16-19; 5:24; Romans 3:23; 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:9-10; Titus 3:5).

​

· We believe in the Holy Spirit's present continuous ministries by indwelling the Christian, thereby enabling the living of a Godly life and manifesting the gifts of the Spirit (I Corinthians 3:16; 12:8-10); Ephesians 5:18-21).

​

· We believe in water baptism, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Lord's supper, anointing with oil, divine healing, and the laying on of hands (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:4; I Corinthians 11 :23-26; Exodus 15:26; II Timothy 1:6; James 5:4).

​

· We believe in the resurrection of the dead. The saved will be raised unto eternal life (John 11:25- 26); the lost will face condemnation (John 5:28-29).

​

· We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).

​

· We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders each reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s purposeful design of the person.

​

· We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18-25.) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4.) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.

​

· We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10.)

​

· We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.)

​

· We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Longview Christian School.
