Statement of faith of Bethesda Nursery and Primary School
We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant Word of God.
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God Himself, came to earth in the flesh, was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. He died a substitutionary and atoning death on the cross. He arose bodily from the grave and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.We believe man was created in God's image and being descended from Adam inherited a sinful nature and is totally unable to save himself from the natural consequences of sin.
We believe men and women are saved and justified by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by accepting Him as Lord and Saviour; are born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God.
We believe that we are made in God's image with a special privilege and responsibility in this world. Made in God's image, we are called to responsible stewardship: loving others and ourselves, and developing and preserving the resources of creation.
We believe that formal education is anchored on the broad framework of understanding ourselves in relationship to God, to others, and to the universe.
We believe that children must be allowed to learn about themselves, others, and the universe, all in relation to the God who created, who maintains, and who one day will fulfill the redemptive work begun in Jesus Christ.
We believe that education involves acquiring and mastering knowledge and developing a critical, discerning mind, both of which need to be rooted in the framework of scripture's story. This will enable students to take their places in society as responsible citizens, with both academic and spiritual integrity.
