Statement of Christian Faith and Code of Conduct

You can download a full copy of our Statement of Christian Faith. A summary of this is below. This indicates the common beliefs which make it possible for parents and staff to work together in the task of Christian education of children. Staff undertake to not only agree with the Statement, but to actively support it by word and deed both inside and outside the classroom.

One Creator God - The Lord God is one – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He fulfils His purposes in creation, revelation, redemption, judgment, and the coming of His Kingdom.
Humanity and the Fall - God made humanity, both male and female, in His own image, giving all people immeasurable dignity and worth. Our rebellion against God sees us disconnected from Him, falling short of His glory and deserving of judgement. God has shown us amazing grace by reconciling us back to Him through Jesus.
Jesus Christ - God the Father has shown His love by giving Jesus Christ, His Son, for us. Fully human and fully God, born of the virgin, Mary, having lived a sinless life, Jesus willingly died in our place as a sacrifice for our sin. He rose victorious over every evil and against all sin, sickness and death. He was taken up to be with God, His Father, where He lives forever as the only mediator between God and humanity. He will return one day in glory and power. As the exclusive and all-powerful saviour, we believe that Jesus Christ is the key to life’s purpose and meaning, and is the unsurpassed model for human flourishing.
The Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit, the third person in the Trinity, is God’s presence in the world. He leads people to repent and turn to God and makes the life and work of Jesus Christ real in the hearts of those who trust in Him.
The Bible - The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of humankind. The Bible was written by people, inspired by God and has ever since been protected and confirmed by God.
A Christian - A Christian is someone who has been reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. A Christian responds to God’s grace and lives a life of trust in and obedience to Jesus Christ.
The Family - Families are designed by God as the cornerstone of human society. Families are formed and sustained through the gift of marriage. Marriage is the relationship between one man and one woman, entered into for life to the exclusion of all others.
The Church - The local and global networks of people who follow Jesus Christ in Christian groups and denominations comprise the Church: a new humanity, the family of God and Christ’s body on earth. Through the Church we are shepherded towards ongoing transformation into Christ’s likeness.
