Statement of Faith

Faith Co-op operates as a Christian ministry and makes decisions according to the ethical and moral standards established in the Bible. Therefore, Faith Co-op requires members to sign a Letter of Commitment, and abide by The Statement of Faith in order to be a participating member of the co-op.

Our Statement of Faith includes only those truths which can be found in the Holy Bible, and are acknowledged upon by all co-op members. It concerns the Person and Work of Jesus Christ (the Gospel) as revealed in Scripture. It is the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1, Eph. 4:5) which distinguishes believers from non-believers. This is not a statement of all that is important to believe, but of all that is essential to believe for Christian fellowship and unity within Faith Homeschool Co-op. (Rom. 15:7)

Statement of Faith:

  • The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God, in which we fully submit ourselves. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

  • God has existed from all eternity in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

  • Jesus was God and came in human flesh, being fully God and fully man, except without sin. (John 1:1-2,14)

  • All men are in violation of God’s righteous requirements and His holy character both by nature and act. (Romans 3:23 and 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-2)

  • The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man’s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, the successful accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent bodily resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:3)

  • Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)

  • 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 given by God at birth is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

  • “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?” 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.) (Matthew 19:4-5)

  • God commands us to abstain from sexual immorality. Those who partake in sexual immorality will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Matthew 19:4-5, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 1Thesalonians 4:3)
