Doctrinal Statement

• 1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant; there are no contradictions, no historical inaccuracies, and no false scientific information in the original manuscripts (II Tim. 3:16). We believe that the Old and New Testaments not only contain the Word of God, but are the Word of God in their entirety, and are the final authority in all subjects on which they speak (II
• Peter 1:21). 2.
• We believe in one
• God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:18-19;
• Mark 12:29;
• John 1:14;
• Acts 5:3-4). 3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the
• Holy
• Spirit, born of the
• Virgin
• Mary (Matthew 1:20-23), and is true
• God and true
• Man (John 1:1-16). 4.
• We believe that man was created in the image of
• God (Genesis 1:26), from dust, as a perfectly created individual named Adam, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from
• God (Genesis 2:17; 3-6:
• Romans 5:12); that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed (Romans 3:10-23). 5. We believe that the Lord Jesus
• Christ died for our sins and for the sins of the whole world (I
• John 2:2), was buried and bodily rose from the dead according to the
• Scriptures (I
• Corinthians 15:1-4). We believe that He died as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in
• Him are justified by grace on the basis of
• His shed blood (John 3:16;
• Titus 3:5). We believe that those so justified are eternally preserved (e.g., the eternally secure position of the believer in Christ, as opposed to the concept that a believer in Christ, could ever lose his salvation) through the present ministries of our risen, ascended, glorified
• Lord
• Jesus
• Christ and the
• Holy
• Spirit (John 10:27-29;

By choosing to join the staff at CSCS, employees agree to abide by the non-comprehensive Standards of Conduct set forth below and agree to answer questions regarding allegations of behavior inconsistent with these Standards of Conduct. Employees also acknowledge the importance of modeling the lifestyle and ethic the Schools support to demonstrate that it is possible to live consistent with the CSCS Doctrinal Statement, to avoid scandal in the Schools, and to evangelize non-Christians effectively.

• Biblical instructions concerning living a
• Godly life (Leviticus 18:22;
