Core Value #1 Biblical Authority
We value the inerrancy, infallibility,
and authority of Scripture as God’s revealed plan for man and we take a solid
stance on the absolute truths of God’s Word in order to be a pillar of truth
for our community.
Statement of Faith
Mountain View Christian Academy was founded and functions upon the basic fundamental principles of the Word of God, and it espouses the historic Christian view of life as presented in the Bible. The following statements of faith and practice are held by the administration and staff of Mountain View Christian Academy. These are not intended to be a creed or all-inclusive statement of faith, but simply an overview of our doctrinal stands.
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:21).
2. We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
3. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), His resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19), His reigning over the kingdom, His church (Eph. 2:20), and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11 and Revelation 19:11).
4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). We believe it is essential to obey Biblical teachings to enter into a saving relationship with Christ Jesus (John 3:3). In order to be saved, one must hear the word (Romans 10:17), believe His teachings (Hebrews 11:1, 6), confess the name of Christ (Romans 10:9-10), be baptized by immersion in water (Acts 2:38, 1 Peter 3:21), continue in the apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, the breaking of bread (weekly observance of communion- Acts 20:7) and in prayer (Acts 2:42, Hebrews 10:25).
5. 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 (John 5:28-29).
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of obedient believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28, Ephesians 4:3), that He reigns over His kingdom, the church, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets and their teachings (Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 1:18) giving leadership gifts of evangelists, pastors (elders), and teachers (Ephesians 4:11).
7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18, Acts 2:38).
8. We believe in the creation of the world and mankind as a direct act of God (Genesis 1:1, 2:2, Genesis 5:1-2).
