About LCA > Statement of Faith
At LCA, we strive to develop the whole person for the Glory of God (Col. 2:8). We are committed to the integration of learning based on the conviction that God created us in His image to be lovers and learners of Him, of our neighbors, and of all creation. From kindergarten to twelfth grade, students are taught that God is the author of Truth, that Jesus Christ fully embodies God’s Truth, and that all subjects or disciplines originate from His creation and lead to fuller service of Him and His world. We are also committed to fostering an environment where young people receive a Bible-based education in a safe and caring way.
At Lakewood, we stand firmly in the stream of the classical Christian faith. We believe:
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
- The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit comprise the one eternal God who is holy, perfect, and infinite.
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became a man, died on the cross, and physically rose from the dead as the only Savior for mankind.
- Man is separated from God by sin.
- Forgiveness for sins and assurance of eternal life is a free gift from God obtained through faith in Christ.
- The Holy Spirit will purify the Christian and enable him to live a victorious holy life under the Lordship of Christ.
- The true Church is composed of all who believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation and are living in obedience to Him.
- An everlasting joyful life will reward believers, but everlasting punishment will be the sentence of the unbeliever.
