Preamble for N.S.C.S
         
      Families who wish to use the services of our school for their children should recognize that we are not asking you to agree with every tenet of our Statement of Faith. Rather, we provide this statement in order that you will be informed on our position toward the Scriptures. Please recognize that the task of teaching Bible facts and universal truths is demanding and we avoid focusing on various denominational distinctives that may divide the Church. We recognize that these teachings are best learned by your children in your own church. The Statement of Faith shall not exclude a guest speaker from ministering to us who may differ with us on matters that are part of our Statement of Faith.

Statement
        
             A. We believe that the Bible is divinely inspired, completely trustworthy in its entirety, and that it is the only full, final, complete and infallible revelation of God from God to man. It is a complete rule of faith  and conduct. Hence, we recognize no other authority above the Bible. 2 Timothy 3: 16-17.

         B. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 3: 16-17.

         C. We believe in God the Father, creator of the universe, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves us from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. Genesis 1:1, 2 Timothy 1: 9.

         D. We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, sinless in His life, making atonement for the sins of the world by his death, by Whom we are saved. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, and His premillenial visible return to the world according to His promise. John 1:1-3, Matthew 1:20, Hebrews 4:15, 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21, Luke 24: 39, Acts 1: 9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

         E. We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, and to regenerate, mature and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. John 16:7-14, Romans 8: 9, 8: 14- 16.

         F. We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners, but that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"; (John 3:16) We believe, therefore, that those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and  Savior will  be forever separated from God. Ephesians 2:2-3, Romans 3:23, John 3:3 John 5:24, 1 John 5:12, Revelation 20:12-15.

         G. We believe in the Church- a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. Ephesians 1:17-21.

         H. We believe that the local church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, associated for worship, work, fellowship and the persuasion of the unsaved to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that the inevitable by-products of this fellowship are human betterment and social improvements. We believe that the Scriptural order for church membership is always: (1) salvation, publicly confessed, (2) baptism, (3) church membership. This doctrine is known as "regenerate church membership." Acts 2:37-47.

         I. We believe that the Bible teaches observance of only two ordinances: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Therefore, this church is committed to the observance of these ordinances only. Matthew 28:19,
1 Corinthians 11:26.

         J. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in matters of faith. We believe that every believer in the finished atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ has the right to direct access to God, and that no priest, church, nor decree can come between the believing soul and His Lord. Romans 14:12, 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 4: 14-16.
