Statement of Faith
We, the members of Pac The House Homeschool Resource Center, in order to encourage the body of Christ, strengthen the family, spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, promote Christian ethical and moral behavior, and aspire to teach our children a Godly legacy, do ordain and establish this statement of faith:
We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, inerrant, infallible, divinely preserved Word of God which constitutes completed and final revelation, and to be the sole and final authority for faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Psalm 119:89, Psalm 12: 6-7)
We believe there is one living and true God—eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, John 10:30, 37-38)
We believe in the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal return in power and glory. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:25, John 2:11, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 1:14, John 11:25, Acts 1:11, Revelation 19: 11-16)
We believe all humans are sinful by nature (Rom. 3:23, 5:12) and can only be forgiven by repentance and statement of trust in Jesus as Savior (John 3:16), brought about by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God given to the sinner by grace and received by personal faith in Jesus Christ alone, as Savior and Lord, whose death on the cross paid the penalty for man’s sin. This free gift of salvation is not received by any personal works whatsoever. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, John 1:12, 5:24, Romans 5:15: 6:23: 10: 9-13: Acts 16:31)
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict and regenerate mankind, and to indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. (John 16:7-14: Titus 3:5: 1 Corinthians 6:19: 12:13: Romans 8:14: Ephesians 5:18)
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they who are saved unto eternal life and they who are lost unto eternal death. (Romans 6:23, John 3:16, Galatians 6:8, Proverbs 11:19, 2 Tim 1:10, John 3:36, Ezekiel 18:30-32, Matthew 7: 13-14, Revelation 20: 11-15, Matthew 10:28, James 4:12, Hebrews 10:39, Hebrews 10:39, Romans 5:9, 2 Thessalonians 1: 8-9)
We believe in the creation of man by the direct act of God. (Genesis 1:26-28: Genesis 5:1-2)
We affirm the biblical definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-9).
We believe in the biblical definition of males and females and the reality that they cannot change gender based on feelings, emotions or confusion. Each adult and child who attends our co-op is required to use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological gender. (Genesis 1:27)
Our association has a Christian emphasis, as evidenced by the Statement of Faith. It is important for all members to realize PAC The House Homeschool Resource Center is not a school: it exists only as a cooperative association of parents committed to protecting and educating our children. When you participate in our resource center, all of our activities and meetings will be conducted with a New Testament Christian emphasis. All classes taught will be taught from a biblical worldview. Science will be taught from a creationist world view.
By signing this statement of faith and teacher contract you are also agreeing to not cause division, interrupt class with other views or teach anything against this statement to other members even if you are not in complete agreement with them.
A “paper” copy of this statement of faith and contract will need to be signed during the interview process.
