STATEMENT OF FAITH​

​

Mankato Christian Academy is committed to our statement of faith, which stands on the foundation of Holy Scripture. Our vision, philosophy of education, core values, and all our principles and practices flow from the following:

 

• We believe and teach that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16)

​

• We believe that there is one true God, existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  (Matt 28:19, 2 Cor 13:14)

​

• We believe God created the heavens and the Earth, and all things visible and invisible. (Gen 1:1)

 

• We believe that all people are created by God in His image to glorify and reflect Him. However, all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and need salvation. (Gen 3:1-24, Rom 3:23)

​

• We believe God desires all people to be saved and experience His grace and know His Word of truth. (1 Tim 2:4)

​

• We believe that Jesus is the one and only begotten Son of God. (Acts 9:20, 1 John 4:15) 

​

• We believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, and died for our sins, was raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father and will come again to judge the living and the dead. (Isa 7:14, Matt 1:20, Mark 15:25, Matt 28:6, Mark 16:19) 

​

• We believe the only way to salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. (Eph 2:8-9, John 3:16)

​

• We believe the Holy Spirit brings us to faith and develops that faith through God’s Word and the sacraments of Baptism and The Lord’s Supper. (John 14:26, Rom 1:16, Matt 26:28, Acts 2:38-29) 

​

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom 15:5, Eph 4:3-6)
