Statement
of Faith
Pittsburgh Christian Academy is a non-denominational
Christian school dedicated to help Christian parents fulfill their Biblical
mandate to educate their children in the Lord. To that end, all subjects are
taught from a Christian worldview. Bible classes will train students to study
Scripture, to interpret it accurately, and to apply its truths to every area of
life.
Students are encouraged to discuss
questions of doctrine with their parents and church leaders, partners with the
Christian school in equipping them for righteous living.
Pittsburgh Christian Academy focuses on
these essential elements of the Christian faith:
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible,
authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16).
2. We believe in one Triune God,
eternally existent in three coequal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Eph.
4:3-6; Matt. 3:16-17; Jn. 20:21-22)
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord
Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection
from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His
personal and physical return in power and glory (Jn. 1:14; Jn. 10:30; Is. 7:14;
Matt. 1:23; Heb. 4:15; Jn. 2: 1-11; Mk. 7:31-37; Lk. 24:5-6; Jn. 3:16; Lk.
24:50-53; Mt. 24:30-31).
4. We believe in the necessity of
regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding
sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified by faith in the shed
blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace through faith we are saved. (Rom.
3:23-26).
5. We believe in the resurrection of
both the saved and the lost: they that are saved to the resurrection of life,
and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the
Spirituality of believers in Christ. (Mt. 25:31-46).
6. We believe that all human life is
sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in
all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or
mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through
natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human
life. (Ps 139)
7. We believe God has ordained
marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a man, a woman,
and Himself (Gen. 2: 18-25; 1 Cor. 7:2-5). We recognize that marriage is
between a biological man and a biological woman (Heb. 13:4).
