Christian Background

Statement of Faith

Doctrinal Statement

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. 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.
4. We believe that for salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved to the resurrection of eternal life and those that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe that heaven and hell are definite places.
8. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers.

Christian Lifestyle Commitment

Heritage Christian School requires every employee accept and follow a lifestyle commitment based upon Biblical principles. As a Christian School representing Jesus Christ in our community, we require employees to be born-again Christians and to live their lives as Christian role models (Romans 10:9-10; I Timothy 4:12). Employees must conduct themselves both on and off the job in a way that will not raise questions regarding their Christian testimonies. A Christian lifestyle should reflect the Biblical perspective of integrity and appropriate personal and family relationships, business conduct, and moral behavior. Moral misconduct as defined by Scripture violates the bona fide occupational requirement of employees being Christian role models.

In connection with this lifestyle commitment, please answer, by circling the correct response, each of the following questions. All questions must be answered. Please be truthful and candid. Your answer to any of these questions does not necessarily disqualify you from employment at Heritage Christian School.

Hillcrest Christian School maintains the right to test its employees for the presence of controlled substances and alcohol.

Volunteer Conduct Statement

HCS has many opportunities for volunteer assistance. It is important that volunteers on campus or on field trips conduct themselves using Biblical standards of conduct. (I Corinthians 10:31-33) It is important that volunteers avoid not only impropriety, but also the appearance of impropriety. Volunteers are to avoid the following:

• Conduct jeopardizing the health, safety or welfare of the students or staff of HCS
• Poor attitude or lack of cooperation
• Failure to follow instructions
• Using or possessing tobacco or alcohol on campus, on a school-sponsored trip or any other school activity
• Immoral or unprofessional conduct
• The use of vulgar or offensive language
• Raising one’s voice in anger, yelling or speaking in a rude, threatening, insulting or unprofessional manner to students, other volunteers or staff
• Threatening or making unconsenting physical conduct with students, volunteers or staff in anger or in a rude, insulting, or unprofessional manner
• Engaging in behavior which presents a negative role model to others
• Having a relationship with any student other than as coach. Such a relationship will lead to termination and ineligibility for future employment.

This is not an exhaustive list for conduct on or off campus which is damaging to the Christian testimony or which diminishes the ministry or integrity of HCS including parents of our students who are volunteers. Volunteers who do not follow the above standards of conduct may lose the privilege of assisting /serving as a volunteer coach.

Security

The following questions are designed to elicit the information necessary for this purpose. The information provided will be treated confidentially and will only be used by authorized staff in reviewing your application. All questions must be answered. Your answer to any of these questions does not necessarily disqualify you from employment at Heritage Christian School.

Acknowledgement

MEDIATION/ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

In consideration for being accepted for volunteer service, I agree that any claim or dispute arising from or related to my volunteer service or this Agreement shall be settled by mediation and, if necessary, legally binding arbitration, in accordance with the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation; judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If a dispute or claim involves a claim to which the School’s insurance, or the School’s insurance with respect to the School’s officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, volunteer workers, promoters or affiliates, if any, applies, and if the School’s insurer refuses to submit the dispute or claim to mediation or arbitration, as described herein, unless the parties otherwise agree, this Mediation/Arbitration Agreement shall no longer be applicable with regard to the part of the dispute or claim to which the School’s insurance applies. I agree this Mediation/Arbitration Agreement shall be my sole remedy for any claim or dispute between us. I, on behalf of myself, my heirs and successors in interest, waive the right to file any legal action against the School in or before a civil court or agency, except to enforce an arbitration award.
