Statement of Faith

Doctrinal Statement

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
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 salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.
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; those that are saved to the resurrection of eternal life and those that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
We believe that heaven and hell are definite places.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers.

If you strongly hold to certain doctrines that are not on this statement, please list and describe those items.

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.

Are you currently in a sexual relationship with someone with whom you are not married? (I Corinthians 6:18-20)

Are you currently living in a homosexual or bisexual lifestyle? (Romans 1:21-32)

Do you use tobacco? (I Corinthians 3:16-18)

Do you use controlled substances or mind altering drugs, illegal or legal (this includes marijuana)? (I Corinthians 3:16-18)

Do you consume alcohol? (I Corinthians 3:16-18)

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

Security

Recognizing God’s love and concern for children, HERITAGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL has adopted a policy of screening all applicants for employment. The purpose of this policy is to promote a safe environment and to protect our students, as well as to guard the honor and reputation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 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.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense (felony or misdemeanor, except for minor Traffic violation)? The term “Convicted” includes entering into a plea agreement including a “no contest” plea or, a deferred sentence or deferred judgment arrangement in connection with a criminal charge.

Have you ever been the subject of an investigation, criminally charged, or been the subject of a civil lawsuit involving physical abuse, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment or an offense relating to children?

Have you ever been subjected to discipline or dismissed from employment or volunteer service by any church, school, or other organization as the result of an allegation or charge of physical abuse, sexual harassment or an offense relating to children?
