Statement of Educational Mission Doctrinal Statement Standards of Conduct

1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant; there are no contradictions, no historical inaccuracies, and no false scientific information in the original manuscripts (II Tim. 3:16). We believe that the Old and New Testaments not only contain the Word of God, but are the Word of God in their entirety, and are the final authority in all subjects on which they speak (II Peter 1:21).

2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4).

3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:20-23), and is true God and true Man (John 1:1-16).

4. We believe that man was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26), from dust, as a perfectly created individual named Adam, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God (Genesis 2:17; 3-6: Romans 5:12); that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed (Romans 3:10-23).

5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and for the sins of the whole world (I John 2:2), was buried and bodily rose from the dead according to the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:1-4). We believe that He died as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified by grace on the basis of His shed blood (John 3:16; Titus 3:5). We believe that those so justified are eternally preserved (e.g., the eternally secure position of the believer in Christ, as opposed to the concept that a believer in Christ, could ever lose his salvation) through the present ministries of our risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (John 10:27-29; Hebrews 7:25).

6. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of and indwelt by, the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God (John 3:3-14,16-17). We believe that regenerate man must walk in dependence upon the Holy Spirit in order to please God (Galatians 5:16).

7. We believe in "that blessed hope" - the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (John 14:1-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18).

8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the just and the everlasting punishment of the unjust (e.g., there is no second chance in hell or the lake of fire for a restoration or universalism in salvation). A person's eternal destiny is set when they die with no hope of a second chance of salvation (I Corinthians 15:51-52; Revelation 20: 11-15).

9. We believe that the Church, composed of all those who truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, is the Body and Bride of Christ. We believe that Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church (Ephesians 1:22-23); that all believers are baptized into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, and thus having become members of one another, are responsible to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:3)

The employees of Colorado Springs Christian Schools are expected to maintain a standard of conduct which demonstrates a life dedicated to the service of our Lord. By choosing to join the staff at CSCS, employees agree to abide by the non-comprehensive Standards of Conduct set forth below and agree to answer questions regarding allegations of behavior inconsistent with these Standards of Conduct. Employees also acknowledge the importance of modeling the lifestyle and ethic the Schools support to demonstrate that it is possible to live consistent with the CSCS Doctrinal Statement, to avoid scandal in the Schools, and to evangelize non-Christians effectively.

CSCS considers the prohibitions in the Standards of Conduct as authoritative, unchangeable Biblical instructions concerning living a Godly life (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:21-27; I Corinthians 6:9-20). They are to be regarded as minimal examples of the complete, Christ-like standard set for us in the Bible and may be supplemented, but never contradicted, by other express commandments set forth in Scripture.

The following behavior is prohibited both on and off the work premises, both during and after normal working hours (including in the private lives of employees).

• Sexual relations outside of marriage (defined as a permanent and legal union between one man and one woman)
• Drunkenness, or any excessive use of alcohol
• Use or possession of narcotics and illegal hallucinogenic drugs of any kind
• Use or possession of pornographic materials
• Inappropriate cell phone or other electronic transmissions
• Participating in, supporting, or condoning sexual immorality, sexual activity outside of marriage (as defined above), homosexual activity, bisexual activity, or lesbian sexual activity

Any uncertainty about whether particular behaviors violate a Biblical standard as determined by the Schools should be directed to the Office of the Superintendent.

The Bylaws of Colorado Springs Christian Schools, Article II Section 2 state, "Each member of the faculty and staff annually by contract, shall affirm, in writing, his/her commitment to the Doctrinal Statement.
