DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF EASTSIDE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Eastside Christian School is thoroughly committed to evangelical Christian doctrine and standards of conduct.
Accepting the fundamentals of the Christian faith, it stands unequivocally for the (1) the inspiration of the Old and
New Testaments, (2) the deity of Christ, (3) the need and sufficiency of the atonement, (4) the new birth through a
repentant heart by the Holy Spirit, (5) the need and glorious possibility of the born-again Christian being so cleansed
from sin and filled with the love of God by the Holy Spirit that one can and should live a life of victory over sin, and (6)
the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Eastside Christian School is committed to the Christian philosophy which
acknowledges in God an eternal and unchanging authority external to man and to society. It is a way of life which
maintains that fellowship with God through Jesus Christ is the strongest impetus toward one’s self-fulfillment. Socially,
Eastside Christian School represents a community in which individual behavior is guided by the standards of personal
health, moral integrity, social consequences and the effectiveness of the Christian witness. For one or more of these
reasons, the school does not permit on the part of its employees a lifestyle which includes: (1) The use of tobacco, (2)
Engagement in illegal acts, such as those involving drugs or gambling, or (3) Participation in activities which disrupt the
mission and purpose of the school and its activities. All employees are expected to model Christian behavior as
representatives of the school.
