Our Statement of Faith

As Board and Staff members of ECA, we believe…

• The Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God, and every word is true (II Timothy 3:16).
• There is one God, Creator of all things, evident in the Father and Son, who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; I John 5:7).
• The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ is affirmed through His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, imminent return in power and glory (John 10:30; Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 4:15; John 10:32; Romans 3:25; Matthew 28:6; Romans 8:34; Luke 21:27).
• We believe the Holy Spirit empowers us to live a godly life (Galatians 5:16).
• We believe that salvation is by grace, through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8).

Core Values

• Children, along with all humanity, bear the image of their Creator and possess intrinsic value and abilities unique to their creation.
• Mankind’s relationship to his Creator precedes success or failure in life.
• The most reliable and trusted revelation of the one true God is found in the Holy Scriptures recognized by both Jewish and Christian followers.
• The role of education rests primarily on the parent and has been mandated, as such, by Creator-God (Deuteronomy 6: 4-9).
• The most reliable education is one that emphasizes a biblical worldview in all subject areas and activities.
