French Camp Academy & Camp of the Rising Son Statement of Faith

Adopted from The Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechism

God
I. God is the One being existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  God is the Sovereign, the Creator, and the Sustainer of all things.  God is the source and end of all truth.

Scripture
II. The Scriptures are the written Word of God, inerrant in their original writings.  They are the infallible authority by which He directs and governs all our activities, including the education of our children.

Person and Work of Christ
III. Jesus Christ is the eternally begotten Son of God.  He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.  He is truly God and truly man.  Through Christ’s life, death, resurrection and ascension, He accomplished for His people a decisive victory over sin and death and established His kingdom among men.

Man
IV. Man was created in the image of God as a rational, moral, and spiritual being.  Man sinned in Adam and fell with him in his first transgression.  Man’s fall affected him spiritually, intellectually, and physically.  Man is restored only by the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit and the cleansing blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ’s Return
V. The Lord Jesus Christ will return in glory and triumph for the final judgment and the consummation of His kingdom.  All those who have truly repented of their sins and have received Christ as their personal savior will be eternally with the Lord Jesus Christ.  All those who have failed truly to repent of their sins and have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ will be eternally damned without Christ in a literal hell.
