The Stonehaven School

The Stonehaven School is an evangelical Christian school
that holds to the central doctrines of historic Protestant Christianity

Our statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as defined by the 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For the purposes of The Stonehaven School’s faith, doctrine, practice, behavioral standards, policy, and discipline, our Board of Trustees is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

Statement of Faith

The Bible

We believe the Bible alone to be the word of God, the ultimate and infallible authority for faith and practice.

The Trinity

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent, in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent: that is, He can do all things. He is omnipresent; that is, He is present to all creation and has under His immediate authority all things which are in Heaven, in the earth, and under the earth. He is omniscient; that is, He knows all things. He readily exercises His power which is present everywhere, and to Him there is nothing that is impossible or unknown, that is, He knows what has been from eternity, what now takes place everywhere, and what will be to all eternity.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in 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, and in His personal return in power and glory.

Regeneration

We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone.

Faith & Works

We believe that faith without works is dead.

Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.

Spiritual Unity

We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus.
