AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
By signing this Affirmation of Faith, I fully recognize my responsibility to demonstrate at all times, both
in my personal lifestyle and my professional duties, a Christ-centered example for Coral Springs Christian
Academy students, parents, and employees as well as the community. If for any reason my support for this
Affirmation of Faith changes at any time, I will make this known to the Head of School of Coral Springs
Christian Academy.
I believe God is one being - infinitely just, wise, good, loving, holy, and existing eternally in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the sovereign Creator of the universe and by His providence sustains and
rules all that He has made. (Deut. 6:4, Isa. 45:5-6, 1 Tim. 1:17, Heb. 1:1-2, Dan. 4:34-35, Psa. 139:1-4, Exod. 34:6,
1 Jn. 4:8, Rev. 4:8, Ps. 147:5). _____ Initial
I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is fully divine and fully human, and that He saves His people from
their sin by His life, death, and resurrection, and is now ruling over His Church and the world through His Word
and Spirit. (Mt. 16:16, 1 Tim. 2:5, Titus 2:13, 1 Cor. 15:1-8). _____ Initial
I believe the Holy Spirit regenerates sinners, indwells believers, and enables them to live a Godly life and to
use the spiritual gifts He has given to them. (Titus 3:5, 1 Pet. 1:23, Jn. 16:8-11, 2 Cor. 3:18, Eph. 1:13-14, Cor.
12:7). _____ Initial
I believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God,
our final authority in matters of doctrine and practice. (Ps. 19:1-6, Rom. 1:18-20, Jn. 14:25-26, Deut. 6:6-7, 2 Tim.
3:16, Jn. 10:35, 2 Pet. 1:20-21, Mt. 4:4, 2 Pet. 1:3-4). _____ Initial
I believe sinners are justified by grace through faith on the basis of the finished work of Christ (His death and
resurrection) and live this life by the power of God. (Gal. 2:16, Jn. 14:6, Eph. 1:3-6).
_____ Initial
I believe God is calling people from the whole human race to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, and to become
members of His Body, the Church. Those who believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior enjoy the blessings of God
and fellowship with each other in communities of faith until Jesus returns. (Eph. 2:11-12, Rev. 5:9-10, Mt. 28:1920, 1 Cor. 11:23-26). _____ Initial
I believe man, male and female, was created in the image of God, but fell into sin through the disobedience
of Adam and Eve. As a result of the fall, all people are born sinful and in need of salvation. (Gen. 3:1-19,
Rom. 5:12-21, Ps. 51:5, Jn. 6:44, Rom. 3:10-18, Eph. 2:1-5).
_____ Initial
I believe God’s people should be marked by Christlikeness, prayerfulness, joyful obedience, love of God and
love of neighbor. We believe the mission of the church is to make disciples by declaring the gospel of Jesus
Christ to save the lost, love others in word and deed and care for the hurting and needy. (Eph. 5:1-2, Rom.
12:12, John 14:15, Mt. 22:37-44, 1 Cor. 9:19-23, 1Pet. 4:11, Jn. 3:16-18). _____ Initial
I believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. 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.
We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage
between a man and a woman. (Gen 1:26-27, Gen 2:18-25, 1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4, Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16;
1 Thess. 5:22). _____ Initial
I believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will return to renew the whole creation and to judge the living and the
dead. (Acts 1:11, 1 Cor. 15:20-28, Rev. 20:10, Rev. 14:15, Mt. 25:21, Rev. 21:1-5). _____ Initial
_____ I fully support this Affirmation of Faith without any reservations.
