Statement of Faith

There is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Isaiah 43:10; John 1:1-3,3:16; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus Christ is True GOD and True Man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the just for the unjust as a substitution for sacrifice. All who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He rose from the dead according to the scriptures. He is now at the right hand of His Majesty on High as our Great Priest. ( Matthew 1:18,23, 28:6; Isaiah 53:5; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 7:25, 4:14; Romans 3:24-25; John 20:9)

The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empowered the believer and convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:5,8; Galatians 5:16,25) The Old and New Testaments, inerrant and infallible as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. The Bible constitutes the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 5:39; Matthew 24:35; Psalm 119:89)

Man was created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, and are separated from the life of God and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Psalm 51:5; Romans 5:12, 15-19) Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him, accepting Him as their personal Lord and Savior, are born again of Holy Spirit, received the gift of eternal life and become children of God. (Romans 5:1-2, 6:23, 8:1; John 6:47; Ephesians 2:13; John 3:16)

The church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through his blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body. The church has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship and the proclamation of the Gospel and observance of the ordinances of baptism and the LordŐs supper. (Romans 6:4, 12:5; Acts 2:47; 1 Corinthians 11:26,28, 12:12-27; Matthew 28:19-20; Psalm 111:1; Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:41)

There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life, for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment. (Revelation 7:15-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Matthew 13:41-42, 25:41; Revelation 20:10,15)

The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. This is the believerŐs blessed hope and is a vital truth. It is our incentive to live holy, living in faithful service. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:2-13; Hebrews 9:28)

Doctrinal Statement
Mission Valley Christian Academy is a non-denominational school that believes all genuine Christians are one in Christ.  It is the desire to remain united in the salvation and love of Christ.  Nonetheless, the school is aware that believers have denominational preferences.  Since it is our desire to maintain this position, and in order to do so in all fairness it is necessary to inform all parents and staff that the following areas are left primarily to the teaching of the home and church:
Church government, authority and discipline; mode of baptism; security and the believer; timing of future events; second work of grace: baptism of the Holy Spirit; Gifts of the Holy Spirit: tongues and interpretation of tongues.
Students who express questions or concerns in these areas will be warmly received and their questions referred to their parent and/or pastor.
