Statement of Faith

The following statement of faith forms the foundation of what we believe and

teach at Cypress Grove Academy:

Scripture – We believe that scripture is the inspired Word of God and both the

Old and New Testaments are infallible in their teaching. We believe that

Scripture is the supreme and final authority for all of faith and life.

Godhead – We believe in One Sovereign, Holy, and eternal God through whom

all things were created and are sustained, existing in three distinct and equal

persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God the Father- We believe that God the Father is the creator and sustainer of

all things. He necessarily exists, is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

As the creator and sustainer of all things, he takes initiative in the revelation of

himself and the salvation of his people and presides as King over all of the

universe.

Christ the Son is the only begotten and incarnate Son of God, born of a virgin;

he exercised his rule over all of creation through his miracles, he provided

expiation for our sins through his death, and bodily resurrection. He

ascended into heaven to sit on the right hand of God where he intercedes on

our behalf before his physical return.

The Holy Spirit indwells believers, convicting them of sin, teaching, and

equipping them for a life set apart unto God; illuminates the Word of God;

and is the Comforter manifesting the presence of God in the life of believers.

Humankind was created sinless and in the image of God. Through the

disobedient sin of Adam, he and all of his offspring are justly, irrevocably

alienated from God and condemned to death, desperately in need of

salvation.

Salvation for the believer comes through grace alone, by no merit of the

individual, through faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

The End of all things culminate in the bodily return of Jesus Christ to preside

as Judge over all of humanity; the bodily resurrection of both the just and the

unjust; the just to the eternal presence of God and the unjust to eternal

punishment.
