DCS Educational Creed
Believing that the Lord God by graciously giving us the Scriptures, has revealed to His people certain basic principles relevant to education, we desire to direct the training of our Christian School in accordance with the following:
a. We believe that there is only one true God eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19)
b. We believe that all things were created by God; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. (Genesis 1; Colossians 16-17)
c. We believe the Bible, comprising the Old and New Testament Scriptures, is inspired and preserved Word of God and is the complete revelation of His will for salvation of mankind. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 24:30)
d. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His pre-existence, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary death and burial; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His visible return in power and glory. (Colossians 1:13-20)
e. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer and to convince the world of righteousness and justice. (Romans 8:4; Titus 2:11-13)
f. We believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice and are under God's condemnation, morally depraved and unable to deliver themselves from the wrath and judgement of God. Those who repent of their sin and put faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Romans 3:23-24; Romans 10:9-10)
g. We believe that God, in His mercy and love for the world, is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Mediator between God and the world. (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Romans 3:10-11; 1 Timothy 2:5)
h. We believe that the Church, representing His Kingdom, is the spiritual unity of true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, who Himself is the Head of that Church. This Church will be resurrected after Christ returns so that all its members will forever with God. (John 17:20-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-24)
i. We believe that, as citizens of the Kingdom of God, we have the responsibility to express the Lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of life and in response chose to Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. (Matthew 5:14-16; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 14:17-19; Micah 6:8)
j. We believe that the Day is coming when every person who lives and has lived will recognize Jesus as Lord and King. There will be a bodily resurrection of all people. Jesus will judge the living and the dead. There will be eternal bliss (Heaven) for righteous. There will be endless suffering (Hell) for the unbelievers, forever separated from God. (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10-11; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29)
