About the Statement
of Faith:
Jireh School was founded
to educate children of Christian families in a non-denominational
environment. Our Statement of Faith encompasses all mainstream denominations
that are biblical, broadly evangelical and adhere to traditional
Christian values. All teachers are fully qualified and registered.
As committed Christians they view their employment as a calling
and part of their Christian service.
Statement of Faith:
“Jireh School is non
denominational. Whilst teachers and school families represent many
different Christian congregations, we hold to the following truths":
(a) We believe in the
Triune God, eternal in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
One God, the only living and true God, the creator of Heaven and
Earth.
(b) We believe in Jesus
Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father; that He was conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, crucified, died and was buried,
was resurrected from the dead and ascended into Heaven; that He
is presently at the right hand of God the Father as prophet, priest
and king and will personally return to earth in power and glory
to judge the living and the dead.
(c) We believe that
the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as originally
given are the inspired and infallible record of the revelation of
God to man, and are the supreme authority in all matters of life
and faith.
(d) We believe in the
sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption.
(e) We believe God’s
acts of creation, and not evolution, are responsible for the origin
of all things, and that creation according to the Biblical record
is an historical event.
(f) We believe in the
Providence of God whereby He upholds the universe, governs the world,
supplies the needs of His creatures and brings His will to pass.
(g) We believe that man
was created in the image and likeness of God to have dominion over
the Earth and to do all things to the glory of God.
(h) We believe in man’s
universal fall into sin through Adam’s transgression and in his
subsequent guilt, depravity, judgment and condemnation.
(i) We believe in the
free offer of salvation to all men and the necessity of faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved.
(j) We believe that
to those who believe God imputes righteousness – not on account
of their faith or good works but because of God’s grace.
(k) We believe in the
necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to apply the benefits of
Christ’s redemption to individual sinners, working in them at times
regeneration, faith, repentance, sanctification, and glory to God.
(l) We believe the Holy
Spirit’s indwelling of the believer begins at regeneration and enables
the believer to continuously die unto and be forgiven for sin and
to live unto righteousness.
(m) We believe in one
Holy, universal Church, the Body of Christ, to which all God’s redeemed
people belong and in which they are united through the Spirit.
