What We Believe

We affirm our commitment to the core tenets of the Christian faith as articulated in the Apostle's Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Chalcedonian Definition. These historic confessions of faith encapsulate our belief in the Trinity, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, and the foundational truths of the Gospel. In addition to these essential doctrines we also affirm the following statements. 

We believe God has ordained marriage and defined it as a covenant relationship between one man, one woman, and himself. Hence, we only recognize marriage between a biological man and a biological woman. As a result, the staff and faculty of Christus Academy will only participate in weddings and the solemnization of marriages between one man and one woman.

We believe that from the beginning God created two separate and distinct biological sexes: male and female. Moreover, we believe that Scripture does not permit any difference between biological sex and gender identity or expression. Humankind has been created by God and any attempt to misconstrue the difference between male/female and/or biological sex/gender identity is an attempt to self-create and is a result of sin and the fall.

We believe that all human life is valuable and sacred, and that human life and full personhood begins at conception and continues until death. As stewards of life, we are endowed by God with the responsibility to protect the worth and dignity of human beings from the moment of conception until the moment of death. Therefore, we oppose taking innocent life in all forms, including abortion and euthanasia.
