East Valley Christian School is a ministry of East Valley Pentecostal Church. As such, the school remains consistent with the church’s beliefs, which are rooted in the Bible and aligned with the principles of Christian faith.
God
We believe there is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16
Jesus Christ
We believe that God the Son became human in the person of Jesus Christ, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is fully God and fully man.
Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:14; Colossians 1:15, 19
We believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the only perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people. All who believe in Him are declared righteous on the basis of His death.
Romans 3:24-26; 5:6-10; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, 21; 1 Peter 3:18
We believe that Jesus Christ rose physically from the dead and ascended into heaven, demonstrating His power over sin and death.
John 20:25-27; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:4
We believe that Jesus Christ will return again to earth to establish His kingdom and reign forever in righteousness and peace.
Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:11; Revelation 21:1-8
The Bible
We believe that the Bible, consisting of all sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the written Word of God and our final authority on all matters to which it speaks, without error in the original manuscripts. Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21
Humanity
We believe that human beings were created in the image of God to be like Him in character and to be in relationship with Him. Human beings are born with a sinful nature and, apart from Jesus Christ, are eternally separated from God. As a result, each one has sinned by defying God and has fallen short of God's perfect standard.
Genesis 1:26-27; 2:15-17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19; Ephesians 2:1-3
Salvation
We believe that salvation from our sinful condition is a free gift of God. It is not something we earn or deserve because of good works. It must be received personally by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone.
John 1:12; 3:16; 10:27-30; Romans 3:28; 8:31-38; Ephesians 2:8-9
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides all Christians with power for living and is in the ongoing process of transforming believers into the likeness of Jesus Christ. John 14:16-17; Romans 6:1-14; 8:9-17; Galatians 5:16-26; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6
Eternal Destiny
We believe that human beings were created to exist forever. They will either exist eternally separated from God in hell or eternally united with Him in heaven.
John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; Revelation 20:12-15
Satan
We believe in the reality of Satan, who attempts to defeat Christians through deception. Believers overcome Satan's schemes by applying biblical truth in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Job 1:6-12; John 8:44; Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8-9
The Church
We believe the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church. Believers need to maintain a regular commitment to attend a local church fellowship. Believers are to grow in spiritual maturity, love each other as Christ loved us, and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ through words and compassionate actions.
Matthew 16:16-18; 22:37-38; 28:19-20; John 13:34-35; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:18; Hebrews 10:25
