Christian Family Academy (CFA) is a co-op of Christian home schooling families, committed to
serving one another by using our unique gifts, abilities, and
educational backgrounds to educate our children. It is our desire to
honor God by lightening the individual load of the parent (bearing one
another’s burdens), while augmenting the learning that is already taking
place in the home.
Statement of Faith
The Christian Family Academy Home School Co-op
teachers, assistants
and families agree to the following in an effort to cooperatively
glorify the
Lord Jesus Christ while training and educating the children of the
Co-op:
A. The Bible is the inerrant,
inspired, only Word of God in its entirety.
The Bible is the supreme and final authority in faith and in
life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2
Peter
1:21)
B. There is one eternally
existent God, manifesting Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each
one
equal in nature and equal in power. (Matthew
3:16-17;
2 Corinthians 13:14)
C. Jesus was God and came in
human flesh, being fully God and fully man, except without sin. (John
1:1-2,
14)
D. Jesus Christ was born of a
virgin, lived a sinless life on earth, offered Himself on the cross as
the only
sacrifice for the sins of all men. He
rose bodily from the grave on the third day, ascended to the right hand
of God,
and intercedes for us as our High Priest. (Matt. 1:22-23, John
20:26-29, Hebrews
4:14)
E. Salvation
comes
by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (Acts 13:38-39) The central
purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man’s
sin
through His substitutionary death on the cross, the successful
accomplishment
of which was attested to by His subsequent bodily resurrection. All
humans are
sinful by nature and can only be forgiven and saved by repentance and
the
expression of trust in Jesus as savior.
(Romans, 3:23 & 5:12, 1
Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts
1:3)
F. Salvation is offered as a
gift, free to the sinner. This gift must
be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works
whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. Salvation
is wholly of God’s sovereign grace.
Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9)
G. The Holy Spirit convicts,
converts, and regenerates sinners to become true believers of Jesus
Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells in the
believer, teaching and guiding for holy living. (Acts 1:8)
Purpose Statement
To glorify
the Lord Jesus Christ, to promote recognition of Him in all subject
matter, and to encourage parents in training their children “in the way
they should go.”
"We will not hide
these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about
the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders."
Psalm 78:4 (NLT)
