NON-DENOMINATIONAL POSITION

This ministry's Statement of Faith lists LCA's official stance concerning fundamental Christian tenets and includes those doctrines we will regularly teach.  Consequently, it is vital that parents choosing to partner with us agree with those statements and understand that their student(s) will be exposed to purposeful teaching regarding them. 

 There shall be no attempt made by parents, students, staff, or school board members to promote or disparage denominational doctrines regarding issues upon which the ministry itself has assumed no official stance: church-government authority, time and mode of baptism, security of the believer, timing of future events, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and sinless perfection.  We will honor parents and maintain the unity of the faith by intentionally directing students to parents and church regarding denominational doctrines.  Additionally, we will require respectful dialogue when subjects naturally arise pertaining to denominational tenets, recognizing God's inspired Word as our standard for truth.
