COASTAL HOMESCHOOL STATEMENT OF FAITH
The CHAA Statement of Faith is the guiding principle for decisions and actions of the organization.
We believe there is one living and true God – an infinite, intelligent Spirit, perfect in all His attributes, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, John 1:1-13, Matthew 3:16-17, II Corinthians 13:14, Revelation 1:8)
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into Heaven, and His imminent bodily return in power and glory. (John 1:1,14, Luke 1:31-35, Philippians 2:6-8, I Corinthians 15:1-8, 15:21, I Peter 2:24, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:12, Acts 1:9-11, I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

This free gift of salvation is not received by any personal works whatsoever. (Ephesians 2:8,9, Titus 3:5, John 1:12, 5:24, Romans 5:15, 6:23, 10:9-13, Acts 16:31)
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict and regenerate mankind, and to indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. (John 16:7-14, Titus 3:5, I Corinthians 6:19, 12:13, Romans 8:14, Ephesians 5:18)
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and
