Our Beliefs

Statement of Faith

Convinced that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God, Tree of Life Academy and Early Learning Center are Christ-centered, interdenominational Christian schools. It is the policy of the schools not to discriminate in the admissions of students or hiring, based on race, color, gender, or national/ethnic origins. Therefore, we affirm the following truths:

1) Scripture

We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God.

2) God
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  We believe God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things and the Source of all truth.
3) The Person and Word of Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, where He makes intercession for believers, and in His personal return in power and glory.

4) The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God. We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit, in that He dwells within the Christian, thus enabling each to live a Godly life.
5) Satan
We believe in the reality and personality of Satan: that his a created being, once known as the “anointed angel” that fell because of pride; that he is the “god of this world” and the “prince of the power of the air”, that judgment already passed on him will be executed at the Revelation of Jesus Christ; that ultimately he will be cast into the lake of fire.
6) Man
We believe man was created by God in His own image, not by evolution but by a special act of creation. We believe the Scripture records the fall of man through his own disobedience, bringing the whole race under sin and death.
7) Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. Every individual is a sinner by birth, and all accountable human beings are sinners by practice and choice and therefore must exercise personal faith in the redeeming work of Christ on Calvary and receive Him as Savior to be saved.
8) The Church
We believe the local church is a congregation of believers associated together by faith and fellowship of the gospel.
9) The Righteous and the Wicked
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who are saved will have eternal life, and those who are lost will have eternal damnation.
