It is important that every parent understand that Temple Baptist Christian School is a ministry of the Temple Baptist Church. What we believe to be the clear teaching of The Scriptures will be taught throughout the school.

We believe:

• in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Old and New Testament Scriptures in the original autographs, and that those writings, being inerrant, are supreme and final in all matters of doctrine and live.

• in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

• in Jesus Christ's deity and humanity, His conception by the Holy Ghost, His virgin birth, His bodily resurrection, His personal visible return with power and great glory.

• that man, being created by a direct act of God, was a righteous, free, moral being; that he sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of physical and spiritual death, not only for himself, but for the entire human race, with the result that we are all sinful by nature.

• that Jesus Christ by his substitutionary death on the cross, made salvation possible for all who will receive Him as their only Lord and Saviour; that salvation is wholly of grace, through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ: that those who receive this salvation shall never perish; and that it is utterly impossible for anyone to be saved except through the Lord Jesus Christ.

• that the local visible church is a congregation of baptized believers in a particular locality associated for worship, fellowship, service and observance of the ordinances; that this local Church is independent, and that the only authority over it is that of Christ and the Word of God.

• that every Christian should be baptized (immersed) in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. This outward act is symbolic of the inward work of regeneration and only baptism of a regenerated individual is real.

• in the observance of the Lord's Supper as the symbol of continual spiritual fellowship with our Saviour, that it is for believers only and that by doing this we remember His death until He comes.

• in the pre-millennial, pre-tribulational return of Jesus Christ for His church, in the resurrection of the dead, and in the eternal blessedness of the saved and the eternal conscious suffering of the unsaved.
