HCS Statement of Faith

All HCS Members must agree to, and abide by, the below statements

1. We believe in the one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30, 2 Corinthians 13:14).
2. We believe in the Scriptures as the final and supreme authority in faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:1-2, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Revelation 22:18-19).
3. We believe that man is sinful and therefore separated from God, who is holy and perfect (Isaiah 53:5-9, Romans 3:23, 1 Peter 1:15-16).
4. We believe that Jesus Christ, by offering himself on the cross, paid the penalty of man’s sin; and that we now may enter into the family of God on the basis of His shed blood. Christ’s death is a substitutionary and propitiatory one-time sacrifice to God for our sins. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man (Isaiah 53:5-6, Romans 5:9-11, Romans 8:34, 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 6:20-7:25, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 1:9, 1 John 2:1-2).
5. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God (John 1:12, Acts 10:43, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, Ephesians 2:8-9).
6. We believe that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was bodily resurrected, and that man will also be bodily resurrected at His triumphant return. We do not believe that man, as a creature fashioned by God’s handiwork, will ever become divine or semi-divine. (Job 38-41, Isaiah 40:13-31, Jeremiah 18:3- 6, Romans 9:21, 1Cor 15:12-22, 1Thessalonians 4:15-16).
7. We believe that children are given by God as a stewardship to their parents, not to the state, and that as parents we are given the authority and responsibility to determine the best form of education for our children (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Psalm 127:3-5, Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4).
8. We believe that every person, as an image bearer of God, must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed towards any individual or group are to be avoided completely and are not in accord with Scripture or the principles of Heritage Christian School (Genesis 1:27, Mark 12:28-31, Luke 6:31).
9. We believe that marriage, by divine design from the beginning of creation, is only between one biological man and one biological woman. We believe that all other types of unions (i.e. polygamy, polyamory, gay marriage, etc.), as well as any and all sexual activity outside of marriage, are immoral and therefore sinful, as being against God’s good design and purposes for His creation (Exodus 20:14, Matthew 19:4-8, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,1 Corinthians 7:10-14, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, Hebrews 13:4).
10. We believe that God created the human race with two genders, male and female, and that any form of self-conception or conduct which intends to adopt a gender other than one’s biological birth gender is immoral and therefore sinful, as being contrary to God’s revealed will and good design for His creation (Genesis 1:26-28, Romans 1:26-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Consent for Online Backgroud Check

Heritage Christian School (HCS) is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our children to learn and grow. In an effort consistent with this commitment, all parents of HCS students and any adult that works with HCS students (coaches, alumni, staff, etc.) will be required to participate in a criminal background check.

The background check will be conducted by a professional screening service. As part of the enrollment/re-enrollment process you will need to go to the screening company's website and enter personally identifying information. The link is located on the HCS website. All results are confidential.

Please see the FAQs for more information.

By clicking "I Agree" below you are giving consent to HCS to conduct the background check and are agreeing to enter your information in the screening agency's website. This is a mandatory requirement for all HCS parents, who will at any point be present and/or involved in the student's school activities. You will not be able to proceed with registration if you do not consent.
