STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Presbyterian Church Schools in Belize hold to the doctrines of Scripture as

set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

THE BIBLE: The Bible is the revealed, holy, infallible, and inerrant Word of
God. It is our only authority for life, and is our rule of faith and practice.

GOD IS TRIUNE: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are together one God in three
distinct persons (The Holy Trinity).

GOD IS SOVEREIGN: He is the supreme ruler, absolutely in control of

everything, and sustains all things by His power.

GOD IS THE CREATOR: He created everything out of nothing and created

man in His won image, giving him dignity and worth.

GOD IS THE SAVIOR: Before all time, God the Father chose those upon whom
He would set His special love. He then sent His son to earth to die on a cross to
save those whom He chose. The Holy Spirit applies the work of Christ to all
who respond by faith, indwelling them upon conversion.

MAN IS SINFUL AND SEPARATED FROM GOD: Before coming to Christ for
forgiveness, man is at enmity with God, deserving eternal damnation. Every
part of man is affected by sin, rendering him unable to come to God apart from
the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.

ETERNAL LIFE IS OFFERED TO ALL MEN: The benefits of Christ’s death

are freely offered to all, and to those who respond by faith alone, the free gift of
eternal life is given.
