Our Statement of Faith and Statement of Beliefs specify which doctrines are commonly shared by our Covenant families and employees. These doctrines are taught with authority in our School community and define the boundaries of our Christian theology and practice. We refer other doctrines and practices to our families and their local churches for spiritual authority and guidance.

Statement of Faith

• We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of both the Old and New Testament, i.e. that the very words of the original Scriptures are infallible and inerrant and that they are our final and absolute authority in every area of life and knowledge.
   
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
   
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
   
• We believe that God the Holy Spirit is a personal being who convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, empowers, guides, bestows spiritual gifts on believers, and seals them eternally for God.  We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.
   
• We believe that man was created by a direct act of God in His image, not from previously existing life, that all men sinned in Adam (the historical father of the entire human race) and thus incurred both physical and spiritual death and inherited a sinful nature.
   
• We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Christ alone.
   
• We believe that faith without works is dead.
   
• We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust; the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
   
• We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus and that all are under the mandate to proclaim the Gospel to the world.

Statement of Beliefs

Covenant believes that all matters of faith and conduct must be evaluated on the basis of the Holy Scripture, the Old and New Testaments (“Holy Scripture”), which is our infallible guide. (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Because Holy Scripture does speak to the nature of human beings and their sexuality, it is imperative that we correctly understand and articulate what Holy Scripture teaches on these matters. We are committed to the home and family as set forth in Holy Scripture. Based on Holy Scripture we believe: 

Marriage – Covenant believes God has ordained and created marriage to exist between one man and one woman, with absolute marital fidelity. It is our firm conviction that we uphold the dignity of each individual as we embrace the unchanging and longstanding principles of scriptural truth. (Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 2:18-24, Matthew 19:4-9, Mark 10:5- 9, Ephesians 5:31-33) 

Sexual Orientation – Covenant believes that God created and ordered human sexuality to the permanent, exclusive, comprehensive, and conjugal “one flesh” union of man and woman, ordered to procreation and biological family, and in furtherance of the moral, spiritual, and public good of binding father, mother, and child. Consequently, we believe that professing Christians should resist any and all same-sex sexual attractions and refrain from any and all same-sex sexual acts or conduct. (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Mark 10:5-9, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Ephesians 5:25-27, Revelation 19:7-9, Revelation 21:2)

Gender Identity – Covenant believes that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal personal dignity. Consequently, we believe that professing Christians should affirm their biological sex and refrain from any and all attempts to physically change, alter, or disagree with their predominant biological sex. (Genesis 1:26-28, Romans 1:26-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
