STATEMENT OF FAITH

 DOGWOOD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY (DCA), in addition to being an institution of education, is a channel through which the Lord Jesus Christ can be more clearly revealed. However, in this context, it is necessary for us to present a clear statement of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. We should combine with that statement a substantive and definitive school purpose. 

1. STATEMENT OF FAITH We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible Word of God. We believe that there is only one God. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his Virgin birth and His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His ascension, and in His personal return in power and glory. 

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, there must be a plan. Three parts are included in this plan of salvation: 1) repentance, 2) water baptism (in the name of Jesus and for remission of sin), and the 3) infilling of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38, John 3:5) 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved, unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost, unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God created the human person as either male or female in His image and likeness, that a person’s sex is not changeable per God’s design and that God’s design for marriage and the family is the union of one man and one woman from whose union children are brought into the world. A person’s life begins at the moment of his or her conception and should be protected until natural death.
