WHAT WE BELIEVE

True Vine Elevation Academy, its Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff hold and subscribe to a strong fundamental, evangelical statement of doctrine embodied in the Non-Denomination Faith and Message. The school was founded by Bishop and Overseer Alexander, True Vine Church and is governed by a Board and administration of Bible-believing leaders. The mission and focus of this institution is to minister to families who support conservative Bible-believing evangelical theology and life practices. We believe denominational distinctives and preferences ought to be taught at church and in the home. The school will emphasize the traditional, fundamental, and historic essentials of Christian belief and practice, while emphasizing the need of a relationship with Christ through the new birth and Christian growth.

 

The school follows the Non-Denomination Faith and Message as the basis for Bible teaching and as the school’s statement of beliefs. Specifically, we adhere to the following:  

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.

• We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.

• We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ. Only by God's grace and through faith alone we are saved.

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of punishment.

• We believe that man was created by a direct act of God in His image, not from previously-existing life.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

• We believe in the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose presence the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
