Statement of Faith

Grove City Christian School serves students from many denominational backgrounds. We do this by respecting the doctrinal issues of other denominations without compromising the faith and beliefs of the Nazarene church (see Articles of Faith).

  • We, the fellowship of the Grove City Church of the Nazarene believe in one God – The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
    (Genesis 1; Isaiah 5:16; 6:1-7; 40:18-31; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19-20).

  • We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
    (Luke 24:44-47; John 10:35; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17).

  • We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
    (Matthew 22:36-40 (with 1 John 3:4); Romans 3:23).

  • We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
    (Ezekiel 18:25-26; John 1:12-13; Acts 5:31; Romans 5:6-8).

  • We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
    (Isaiah 53:5-6; Mark 10:45; Luke 24:46-48; John 1:29; John 3:14-17).

  • We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
    (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:25-27; Matthew 3:11-12; Romans 6:11-13).

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
    (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:25-27; Luke 3:16--17; Acts 1:5; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 5:8-9).

  • We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
    (Matthew 25:31-46; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7-8; 22:7-20).
