I have read the below doctrinal statement, am in agreement and would like to apply for SEEK membership.

Membership Doctrinal Statement

(Download this document as PDF)


SEEK is a distinctly Christian Homeschool co-op. Our membership is made up of parents who have been saved by the grace of God, who worship and serve the one, eternal, triune God, and who embrace the Bible as the authority for life and godliness.  

 

SEEK is a ministry of Colonial Baptist Church (CBC) and is governed by the beliefs and policies of CBC. SEEK is not limited to members of CBC. However, SEEK operates from a perspective and philosophy that is evangelical and when Scripture is taught, it will be taught from that perspective. If you have questions about whether your spiritual views align with SEEK, please call Scott Wylie at 669-0394 before applying.

 

The following are areas upon which all SEEK members agree:

 

The Scriptures

        I believe that the Bible (the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments) as originally written is the only Word of God, and is truth without any mixture of error.

        I believe there is no other sacred scripture beyond the 66 books of the Bible.

        I believe that the Bible is the center of true Christian unity and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions shall be tried.

 

The Triune God

        I believe there is one and only one living and true God, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth.

        I believe God is holy and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love.

        I believe that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son and the

        Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

        I believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, having not been created, but being the Second Person of the Trinity, came into this world as foretold in the Scriptures to manifest God to mankind and to be the Redeemer of the sinful world.

        The Fall of Man

        I believe that man was created in innocence under the laws of his Maker.

        I believe that in a voluntary act of rebellion, Adam sinned and thus ushered sin into the world.

        I believe that because of Adam's sin, all people are born as sinners by nature, and that all people demonstrate that sin nature through their conduct and are therefore under just condemnation by God without defense or excuse.

 

Grace and the New Creation

        I believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be granted new life in Jesus Christ.

        I believe that the new birth Jesus provides is instantaneous and not a process.

        I believe that in the new birth, the person who was once dead in trespasses and in sin is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God.

        I believe that this new birth is brought about by our sovereign God, solely by the power of the Holy Spirit and not by works of righteousness that I perform.

        I believe that faith alone in Jesus Christ is the only condition for salvation.
