WCHS Statement of Faith

We believe . . .

1. The Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired as originally given, inerrant, the only infallible rule of faith and practice (II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21).
2. God is Triune --- one eternal God existing in three separate and distinct persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
3. Christ is God manifested in the flesh, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, suffered, and died on the cross as an atonement for our sins. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, now sits at the right hand of God as our mediator, and is one day coming again visibly in power and glory to earth as revealed in the Bible (John 10:33, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35, I Corinthians 15:3, Mark 16:19).
4. Man was created in God's image and being descended from Adam by ordinary generation, inherited a sinful nature and is totally unable to save himself from the natural consequences of his sin, both original and actual (John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9).
5. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to Christian faith and life. By God's grace only and through faith in the accomplished work of Christ on the cross alone are we saved from eternal death (John 5:28-29).
   Our Statement of Faith is not exhaustive of all our beliefs. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, speaks with absolute authority regarding the proper conduct of mankind and is the unchanging foundation for all belief and behavior. The Board of Directors holds final interpretive authority on biblical meaning and application regarding faith, doctrine, policy, practice, and discipline.

As members of the Association of Christian Schools International, we endorse their statement of faith and their stated position on religious organizations. We have provided these below for your additional understanding of our spiritual stance in today's Christian community.

ACSI Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21).
2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
3. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4: 15, 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), His Resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4), His Ascension to the right hand of God (Mark 16:19), His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace and through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16–19, 5:24; Romans 3:23, 5:8–9; Ephesians 2:8–10; Titus 3:5).
5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28–29).
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, Galatians 3:26–28).
7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13–14; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19–20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
8. 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 (Genesis 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 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2–5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that God's command is that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and a woman.
9. We believe that God wonderfully foreordained and immutably created each person as either male or female in conformity with their biological sex. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26–27).
