Statement of Faith
The following is the foundation of beliefs on which TRINITY is based. They are also the key elements of Christianity that will be unapologetically taught in various ways through all grade levels. The substance of these statements is that which will be considered primary doctrine at TRINITY. All board members and staff of TRINITY must adhere to these foundational principles. Secondary or divisive doctrines and issues will not be presented as primary doctrine. When these types of doctrine or issues arise, they will be referred back to the family and local churches for final authority. All those who voluntarily associate with TRINITY are deemed to submit to the Statement of Faith and the scriptural authority upon which it is based. Any matters regarding the Statement of Faith, including scriptural disputes, shall be resolved according to the Holy Scriptures as interpreted and administered by the TRINITY leadership, in its sole and absolute discretion.

1. We believe the Bible (containing 66 books Old and New Testament) to be the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16)

2. We believe that there is one God, creator of all things, eternally existent in three Persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. (Deut. 6:4; Gen. 1:1, I John 5:7)

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal visible return in power and glory. (John 10:30; Matt. 1:18; Heb. 4:15; John 10:32; Rom. 3:25; Matt. 28:6; Rom. 8:34; Luke 21:27)

4. We believe that for the salvation of all lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. (John 3:3-8)

5. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone. (Eph. 2:8)

6. We believe that faith without works is dead. (James 2:17)

7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Gal. 5:16)

8. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved to the resurrection of life, and they that are lost to the resurrection of condemnation. (I Thes. 4:16,17; II Thes. 1:9)

9. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 17:20-23)

Concerning Human Sexuality

1. We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman (whose genders were determined at birth) 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

2. We believe that God wonderfully foreordained and immutably created each person as either male or female in conformity with their biological sex, as determined at birth. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26–27).
