Statement of Faith

Winter Haven Christian School stands firmly in our Christian faith and emphasizes the grace and love of God in our lives.

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired and infallible, authoritative Word of God.

• We believe in the Trinity:  The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe that Jesus is the Son of God.  

• We believe in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.

• We believe in the resurrection of the saved to eternal life in heaven and the resurrection of the lost to eternal damnation in Hell.

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.

• We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, and not by any works.

• We believe that a Christian grows in his spiritual life by praying, reading and studying the Bible, and worshiping in a fellowship of Christian believers.

• We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman.  We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex.  We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery, medical intervention, or appearance. (Gen 2:24; Gen 19:5, 13; Gen 26:8-9; Lev 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:9; 1 Thess 4:1-8; Heb 13:4)

• We believe that the only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. (Gen 2:24; Rom 7:2; 1 Cor 7:10; Eph 5:22-23).
