Doctrinal statement

Calvary Baptist School adheres to the following: The divine verbal (word by word), plenary inspiration of Scriptures; the inerrancy of Scripture; the complete revelation in creation, the Bible (66 books) and Jesus Christ; God revealed in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that man is totally depraved and condemned apart from a personal recognition and turning from sin and trusting Jesus alone for salvation; that a believer is a new creature, therefore, should live a holy, clean and pure life by the power of God; that God’s work is fulfilled by believers as they unite in local, visible, Bible preaching churches; that the ordinances are believer’s baptism (by immersion) and the Lord’s table; that God expects believers to honor Him with their attendance in the local church on the first day of the week; that believers honor civil government; that the believer will go to be with Christ immediately at death and that unsaved go to damnation; and that Jesus Christ could come for the saved at any time.
