Statement of Faith

The following is the foundation of beliefs on which New City Classical Academy is based. They are also the key elements of Protestant Christianity that will be unapologetically taught in various ways through all grade levels. 

  • We believe the Bible alone to be the Word of God, the ultimate and infallible authority for faith and practice.

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent; that is, He can do all things. He is omnipresent; that is, He is present to all creation, and has under His immediate authority all things which are in Heaven, in the earth, and under the earth.  He is omniscient; that is, He knows all things.  He readily exercises His power which is present everywhere, and to Him there is nothing that is impossible or unknown, that is, He knows what has been from eternity, what now takes place everywhere, and what will be to all eternity.

  • 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 return in power and glory. 

  • We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, comfort, sanctify, seal, reprove and empower the believer for Godly living and service. 

  • We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. 

  • We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

  • We believe that faith without works is dead. 

  • 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 damnation. 

  • We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.) 

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. 

  • We believe that the family is ordained by God as the basic unit of His plan for His people. The institution of marriage between one man and one woman as created by God provides the foundation and definition for the family. We believe in the preservation and edification of the family to be an act of obedience to God. 

  • We believe in the sanctity of all human life. This life should be protected, nurtured and helped from the moment of conception (when life begins), until death occurs normally. 

  • We believe that God created the heaven and earth, including all life, by a direct, supernatural act, and not by a process of evolution. 

  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. 

  • 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. (Gen 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 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. 

  • We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10.)

This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. We further subscribe to the system of doctrine that is set forth in the Westminster Confession and London Baptist Confession, specifically where they are in agreement. Ultimately, the Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the final source of all that we believe.  For purposes of New City Classical Academy's faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our board is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s application.

As a matter of firm policy, it is mandatory that all staff and board members subscribe to the above statement of faith and affirm that commitment by signed written statement.
