Statements of Faith

The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.

All parents and guardians must sign the LCA statements of faith during the initial enrollment. If families break the statements of faith at any time, the student risks or even loses their continued enrollment at Lincoln Christian Academy.

Bible

2 Timothy 3:16-17
We believe the Bible to be the authoritative Word of God — without error, God-inspired, and truth.

God

Matthew 28:19
We believe in one true God that eternally exists in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Isaiah 7:14, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, Hebrews 9:27-28
We believe that Jesus Christ is God in His birth, His life, His death, His resurrection, and His return.

Salvation

Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 17:3
We believe that salvation is only available by grace, through faith, and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. We believe that salvation offers eternal life in heaven and, ultimately, the new Earth.

Holy Spirit

John 16:8, John 14:26, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit who convicts us of sin, leads us to repentance and belief in Christ, lives within us, and enables us to live Godly lives. According to His will, the Holy Spirit equips us with gifts for the edification of The Body Of Christ.

Spiritual Unity

Philippians 2:1-4
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers and that all believers are members of His Body, the church.

Gender, Marriage, and Sexuality

We believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female from conception until natural death. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-28) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, covenant, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18-25; Mark 10:6-9) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; 7; Heb 13:4) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10)

We believe to preserve the function and integrity of Lincoln Christian Academy and to provide a biblical role model to LCA students and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by Lincoln Christian Academy in any capacity or students of Lincoln Christian Academy agree to and abide by these Statements on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thes 5:22)
