Yes___ No___ 5 STATEMENT of FAITH for PLYMOUTH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe that all Scripture is given by divine inspiration of God and that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to both the Old and New Testaments (II Timothy 3:16). They are complete and are the supreme, final authority in faith and life (Mark 12:26, 36). THE GODHEAD We believe that God, the Supreme, Eternal, and Unchangeable One has revealed Himself in Three Persons: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and that these three are one God (John 10:30); having the same nature, attributes, perfections and commanding the same worship, confidence, and obedience (II Corinthians 13:14). THE LORD JESUS CHRIST We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 2, 14; 10:30), that He was begotten of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20), and born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:21) and is very God and very man (Colossians 1:15). We believe that His death on the cross was substitutionary and representative (Romans 5:6-8), and sufficient payment for the guilt of all men (Romans 6:10, 14, 17, 18). We believe that He was raised from the dead in bodily form (Matthew 28:5-7) and ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9-11) where He lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:22-25). We believe in the personal, bodily and pre-tribulational return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Church (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:10), and after the Tribulation, His return with the company of the redeemed to judge the nations (II Thessalonians 1:6-10) and establish a worldwide kingdom of righteousness and peace (premillennial, Revelation 11:15- 19). THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe in the divine personality of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16; 15:26) that He represents the Lord Jesus Christ in His absence (John 16:13, 14), and that His ministry consists of convicting the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-11) and that He is the source and power of all acceptable worship and service (John 15:26, 27). We believe that He takes up His residence within the believer at the moment of salvation (I Corinthians 6:19), baptizes the believer into the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:13), teaches scriptural truth (John 14:26) and enables the believer to live a godly life (Galatians 5:22, 23). CHURCH The Universal Church, which began at the day of Pentecost and will continue to the Rapture, is made up of born again believers. At the Rapture, Christ, who is the Head of His Church, will come to take away His Bride (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17). The Holy Spirit baptizes each believer at conversion into His Church, the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:13), and imparts to each believer a certain gift or gifts for His service (I Corinthians 12:11). The Universal Church is instructed to allow the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit both collectively and individually so that the unsaved will see the transformation of their lives as well as hear the claims of our Lord Jesus Christ presented as mankind's only hope of salvation. SALVATION We believe that our salvation is solely by the grace of God, through personal faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. It was not accomplished by anything we have done (Ephesians 2:8, 9). We believe that Jesus Christ paid the complete penalty for all the sins of mankind through the shedding of His blood on the cross of Calvary (I Peter 1:18-20; 2:24). We also believe that the salvation of all believers is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30), and is so secure that nothing can separate the believer from the love of God (Romans 8:35-39). MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God by a direct act of creation (Genesis 1:26, 27); that he sinned (Genesis 3:6) and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Romans 6:23). As a consequence of this disobedience, all mankind is declared by God to be totally depraved, having inherited a sinful nature and having become sinners in thought, word and deed (Romans 3:10-23). We believe that there is the absolute necessity of the new birth for an individual's salvation (John 3:3, Galatians 3:22). 6 PRE-EMPLOYMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT (Please read carefully and sign below) 1. I authorize PLYMOUTH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY (PCA) to request information from, and consult with, other companies, individuals or agencies concerning my employment, education, competence, character or qualifications and I authorize them to release such information as PCA requests, including my prior disciplinary record, without any obligation to give me written notice of such inquiry and disclosure. I also authorize PCA to release any information concerning my employment with PCA requested by any prospective or subsequent employers without any obligation to give me written notice of such disclosure. I RELEASE PCA AND ANY INSTITUTION, COMPANY, INDIVIDUAL OR AGENCY FROM ANY LIABILITY AS A RESULT OF THE ABOVE INQUIRIES AND DISCLOSURES. 2. I understand that this application is not an offer for a contract of employment for any definite period of time. I further understand and agree that if I am hired by PCA, I shall be bound by the rules, policies, regulations, terms and conditions of employment of PCA as they may be communicated to me from time to time by PCA and which may be changed or modified at the will of PCA, in its sole discretion, with or without explanation or notice to me. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT PCA IS AN AT-WILL EMPLOYER, WHICH MEANS THAT MY EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH PCA IS FOR NO DEFINITE PERIOD AND MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AT THE WILL OF EITHER PCA OR ME. I understand that the direction and control of all work is the sole prerogative of PCA and includes, by way of illustration only, the right to hire, layoff, transfer, reassign, demote or discharge. No representative of PCA, other than the Headmaster or Superintendent, has the authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specific period of time or make any agreement contrary to the foregoing. Further, any such agreement entered into by the Headmaster or Superintendent shall not be enforceable unless it is in writing and signed by the Headmaster or Superintendent and me. 3. I understand that according to federal law, all individuals must, as a condition of employment, produce certain documentation to verify their identity and U.S. citizen status or, if aliens, their legal authorization to work in the U.S. I agree that any employment by PCA is contingent on my ability to obtain and maintain the required documentation within the time period required by applicable law. 4. I certify that all of the information in this Application and other information given by me in support of this Application for employment is true and complete. I understand that any misrepresentation, misleading statement or omission of any fact on either this Application or other information given by me in support of this Application is sufficient reason for my (1) not being offered employment or (2) being disciplined, up to and including discharge, at any time during my employment. 5. I understand and agree that if hired, and if during my employment I am in need of an accommodation as a result of a handicap or disability, I will promptly notify PCA, in writing, within 182 days after the need for accommodation is known or reasonably should have been known. 6. I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. I agree that this strong belief in God’s Word leads to the conviction that sexual immorality and homosexuality are sinful and that such behaviors are therefore unacceptable for all (parents, staff and students). (I Corinthians 6:18-20; I Thessalonians 4:3; I Corinthians 11:3, Romans 1:24-32). 7. I understand and agree that any claim that I might pursue upon termination of my employment must be brought within one (1) year of the date of my termination. I knowingly waive any limitations period which allows a longer time to bring a claim. 8. Since I will be working with children, I understand that I must submit to a fingerprint check by the FBI, and possibly other federal and state authorities. I agree to fully cooperate in providing and recording as many sets of my fingerprints as are necessary for such an investigation. I authorize PLYMOUTH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY to conduct a criminal records check. 9. If any term or condition hereof is determined to be unenforceable as written, then that provision shall be interpreted to allow its enforcement as far as legally possible. I have read the Pre-employment Acknowledgment and agree thereto. I have also read, and unequivocally agree with, the doctrinal statement of PCA.
