STATEMENT OF FAITH

  • We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God;

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;

  • 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;

  • We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, a regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential;

  • We believe in the creation of man by the direct act of God as recorded in the Book of Genesis;

  • 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 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.

Statement on Marriage, Gender and Sexuality

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27) Rejection of one's biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. 

We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18-25) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. 

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10) 

We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of NORTH KERN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL as a part of the Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the students, parents, and sponsors of NKCS, and to the local community, it is imperative that all persons employed by NKCS in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thess 5:22) 

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9- 11) 

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor with the teachings and policies of NORTH KERN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.

NORTH KERN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
