What We Believe

The following doctrinal statement lists the beliefs held by those at LCHS:

• We believe in the divine inspiration of the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and that they are the supreme and final authority of faith and conduct. II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21
• We believe in the one God eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19,20; II Corinthians 13:14
• We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the perfect God-man, and that He was virgin-born, for the purpose of being the perfect Savior. Matthew 1:18; Philippians 2:5-8
• We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present work as our High Priest. John 20:20; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 4:14-16
• We believe that man was created in the image of God but through sin he fell, and because of sin and without Christ is spiritually dead and lost. Genesis 1:26; Romans 3:23; 5:12
• We believe that a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is essential to becoming a child of God, that eternal life is a present possession and that at death the believer’s spirit departs to be with Christ in conscious blessedness. John 1:12, 13; John 5:24
• We believe that salvation is based entirely upon the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 1:8;  Philippians 1:6
• We believe that all those who continue to reject Christ as the only Savior from sin will spend eternity in a literal hell, a place of conscious torment. Revelation 20: 11-15
• We believe in the personal, pre-millennial, pre-tribulation, and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church, and in His glorious appearing with the Church to set up His earthly kingdom. Titus 2:13; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Acts 15:16
• We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, a subtle being who finally will be cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 10:10
• We believe that a Christian should be consistent in his manner of walk and life so as not to bring reproach upon the name of Christ. I John 2:15-17; II Corinthians 6:14-17
