Statement of Faith
Since Kimberly Christian School is operated as a Christian ministry, you are expected to subscribe to the Statement of Faith, as set out below.
-
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
-
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ is begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is True God and True Man.
-
We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death physically and spiritually; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgressions involving personal guilt.
-
With regards to sexual behaviour, we believe in heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony. Adherence to this stated principle of sexual behaviour is an inherent requirement for Educators of Kimberley Christian School.
-
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice, according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
-
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
-
We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
-
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
-
With regards to submission to authority, we believe in the principle of being in authority because you are under authority. As such, it is understood that Educators/employees shall be subject to submission to authority in matters pertaining to School governance, doctrine and personal behaviour.
-
We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
-
We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essential.
-
We believe in the sanctity of life from the moment of conception and respect God’s mandate when it comes to the giving and the taking of life.
-
We believe that the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
-
We believe in striving to live lives pleasing to God, as set out in the Bible, in our public and personal lives.
