Statement of Faith

All classes are taught from or adhere to a biblical perspective that emphasizes these foundational truths:

1. The Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God
2. God exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. Man fell into sin through his disobedience.
4. Jesus Christ paid the penalty for mans’ sin through His perfect life, His sacrificial death, and His triumphant resurrection.
5. Eternal life is available to those who confess and repent of their sin, and put their trust in Christ alone as their hope of salvation.
6. Christians have the Holy Spirit as an indwelling Person, enabling them to live lives of faith, repentance, virtue, and obedience.

Since different denominations and viewpoints exist within the larger Christian community, Compass seeks to abide by the following basic principle from Rupertus Meldenius (circa 1627): “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” Participating families are not required to adhere to this statement of faith. However, all Compass parents and students should recognize that classes are taught from a Christian perspective, particularly when dealing with worldviews, and/or discussions of origins, history, ethics, and literature.
