CCHEA Statement of Faith

Coast Christian Home Educators’ membership is limited to home educators who acknowledge that our group is a Christian group and that all functions, activities, and publications of CCHEA are based on the following Statement of Faith:

• The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, not to be added to or taken away.

• God has existed from all eternity in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

• Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirits, born of the Virgin Mary. He was God come in human flesh, being fully God and fully man, except without sin.

• Jesus Christ was crucified and raised from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father as Intercessor.

• Man is by nature sinful and inherently in need of salvation. Christ’s death provides substitutionary atonement for our sins.

• Salvation is offered as a gift - free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.

• With Jesus Christ’s literal return to the earth, the dead will be resurrected: the righteous will receive eternal life, the wicked eternal punishment.

• Children are a heritage form the Lord, entrusted to parents to train up in righteousness for His Glory.
