Member schools of the West Virginia Christian Education Association are expected to sign the doctrinal statement that is given below:
We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, was verbally inspired by God, and is inerrant and is our only rule in matters of faith and practice. We believe in creation, not evolution; that man was
created by the direct act of God and in the image of God. We believe that Adam and Eve, in yielding to the temptation of Satan, became alien creatures. We believe that all men are born in sin. We believe in the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the vicarious and substitutional Atonement
for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross. We believe in the resurrection of His body
from the tomb, His ascension to heaven, and that He is now our Advocate. We believe that He is personally coming again. We believe in His power to save men from sin. We believe in the necessity of the New Birth, and that this New Birth is through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing minus nothing, in the atoning of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We believe that this statement of faith is basic for Christian fellowship and that all born-again men and women who sincerely accept it and are separated from the world of apostasy and sin, can, and should, live together in peace and that it is their Christian duty to promote harmony among the Believers.
