Statement of Faith Covenantal Statements
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II
Timothy 3:15; II Peter 1:21).
2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis
1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).
3. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35);
His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I
Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); His
Ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return in power and glory (Acts
1:11, Revelation 19:11).
4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the
exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that we are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed
blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19, 5:24;
Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3-5).
5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of
life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians
12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).
7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to
live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
Position on Critical Issues
One of the strengths of Scottsdale Christian Academy (the Academy) is its place as an inter- denominational
institution. The joy of sharing the person of Christ and living in unity as a body of believers is, in part, the
realization that we have differences in areas nonessential to salvation and that through this recognition and
acceptance we can mutually experience that which brings about patience, understanding and love among
believers (Rom. 15:5). It is equally important to clearly articulate our position on certain critical issues that
are foundational to the mission and values of the Academy.
1. The Board of the Academy takes a clear position in opposition to each of the following: (1) recreational drug
use, drug abuse of any kind, and drunkenness (Eph. 5:18); (2) abortion (Psalm

139; Lev. 18:21); (3) premarital sex/extramarital sex (I Thes. 4:3); (4) homosexuality (Rom. 1:26, 27; Lev.
18:22); (5) pornography (Ps. 101:3a); (6) certain issues related to marriage, gender, and sexuality (see
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).

Covenantal Statements
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His
mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31;
Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are
not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of the Academy.
Acknowledgement
This document contains three sections which include our Statement of Faith, our Position on Critical Issues, and
Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. All three are to be affirmed by all custodial parents/guardians,
employees/appointees, and volunteers.
If it becomes necessary at any point for the Academy to specifically articulate its religious beliefs on any of these
issues, any other issues of religious belief or doctrine, or to articulate how its religious beliefs apply in any
particular situation, the Board will be the final decision-maker and arbiter of the Academy’s sincerely held
religious beliefs and practices.
We believe that to preserve the function and integrity of the Academy as part of the Body of Christ, and to provide
a biblical role model to members of the Academy and the community, it is imperative that all members of the
Academy’s community (including employees/appointees, volunteers, and parents/students) abide by these
Covenantal Statements (Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).
I agree that I (and my children who are students of the Academy) will live consistently with the Covenantal
Statements above and will not act or advocate against them.
