Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality).
2. We teach that man was created by God and in His image (Gen. 1:27) and believe there is compelling evidence
for Creation and the Flood (Gen. 6-8); all things in the universe were created and made by God in the six literal
days of the creation week described in Genesis 1:1-2:3 and confirmed in Exodus 20:11. We believe that none of
the Biblical account of Creation and the Flood needs compromising. What we teach in this regard is consistent
with the Biblical record.
3. The Board of the Academy takes no position relative to the following issues: (1) speaking in tongues; (2) form
of baptism, i.e., sprinkling or immersion; (3) election; (4) the church and politics; (5) political endorsements by
the Academy; (6) healing; (7) communion. “No position” is defined as viewing an issue to be nonessential to
salvation but which has much variance among Christian evangelical groups as they interpret the Scriptures.
Therefore, any formal discussions would be referred to the home and church for that individual to determine for
themselves. This would not prevent an individual, if asked, from giving their own personal point of view.
Please note there are other important issues not listed here that we refer to the individual, home, and church.
Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct,
complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27).
Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s sovereign plan for one’s life. At the Academy, any
efforts to deny one’s biological sex through, for example, modes of dress, chemical intervention, or surgical
procedures are impermissible.
We believe the term “marriage” has only one appropriate meaning: the uniting of one biological man (man) and
one biological woman (woman) in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25). We
believe God’s design for marriage is the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:18-25). Marriage between
one man and one woman uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His church (Ephesians 5:21-33). We believe
that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1
Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be
engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman.
We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual
conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18-20; 1
Corinthians 6:9-10).
