FOUNDATION ACADEMY STATEMENT OF FAITH

Foundation Academy’s Statement of Faith summarizes Biblical truth that has historically and doctrinally been regarded as essential to the Christian faith. We require that all our administrators and faculty be in full agreement with this statement.

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Scriptures were written by men divinely inspired by God, and that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.

THE GODHEAD

We believe in the One True and Living God who exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three Persons are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections.

GOD THE FATHER

We believe that God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. He is all-powerful, all loving, and all wise. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

GOD THE SON

We believe that Christ is the eternal Son of God. We believe in His incarnation and Virgin Birth: His Death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin; His literal, bodily Resurrection from the dead; His present ministry of intercession in heaven; and His personal, future return to earth.

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, convicts men of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and sets apart believers unto a holy life; that He keeps and empowers believers day by day; that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.

MAN

We believe that man was created innocent and pure, and Adam fell through the sin of disobedience. Therefore, all men are corrupted in body, soul, and spirit; and all men need redemption.

SALVATION

We believe that salvation is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works, and that salvation requires repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way. Salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become the children of God, and true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.

THE FUTURE

We believe in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth, and in the bodily resurrection of the saved to an eternal abode in the glorious presence of the Living God, and in the bodily resurrection of the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.

Christian Background*

Statement of Faith*

I fully support the statement as written, without mental reservations.

I support the statement except for any areas listed and explained below. These areas represent either disagreements or items for which I have not yet formed an opinion or a conviction.

Lifestyle Statement/Code of Conduct

I agree to manifest by daily example the highest Christian virtue serving as a Christian role model (1 Timothy 4:12) both in and out of school to students (Luke 6:40), parents, and fellow employees. I agree that instruction is not only through rational explanation of formal subject material, but even more powerfully through word, deed, example, and shared experience. I agree to be a role model in judgment, dignity, respect, and Christian living. I acknowledge that this includes, but is not limited to, the refraining from such activities as the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, illicit drugs, and the use of vulgar and profane language. (Col. 3:17, Titus 2:7-8, 1 Thess. 2:10, 1 Thess. 5:18, 22-23, and James 3:17-18)

I agree to accept the board’s interpretation of Biblical standards for my sexual behavior. That any sexual misconduct—including, but not limited to—premarital, extramarital, or homosexual activity; sexual harassment; use or viewing of pornographic material or websites; and sexual abuse of children is forbidden and violates the employment requirement of being a Christian role model. I agree that such behaviors are grounds for immediate dismissal from my teaching position of ministering to children.

I also agree that the unique roles of the male and female are clearly defined in Scripture, and that Romans 1:24-32 condemns the homosexual lifestyle (Rom.12:1-2; 1 Cor. 6:9-20; Eph. 4:1-11, 5:3-5; 1Thess. 4:3-8; 1 Tim. 4:12; 2 Tim. 2:19-22; 1 Peter 1:15-16, 2:15-17; 1 John 3:1-3) I am fully aware of my obligations under state law regarding child abuse reporting requirements and will fulfill those obligations.

Applicant’s Certification and Agreement

I understand that Foundation Academy does not discriminate in its employment practices against any person because of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, age, or disability.

I hereby certify that I have not knowingly withheld any information that might adversely affect my chances for employment, and that the facts set forth in this application process are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that falsification of any statement or a significant omission of fact on the application, supporting documents, or interviews may prevent me from being hired or, if hired, may subject me to immediate dismissal regardless of when or how it was discovered. If I am released under these circumstances, I further understand and agree that I will be paid only through the day of release and that benefits terminate at the end of the last full month of active employment.

I authorize Foundation Academy to thoroughly interview the primary references that I have listed, any secondary references mentioned through interviews with primary references, or other individuals who know me and have knowledge regarding my testimony and work record. I also authorize the school to thoroughly investigate my work records and evaluations, my educational preparation, and other matters related to my suitability for the position.

I authorize my former employers and any other references to disclose to the school any and all employment records, performance reviews, letters, reports, and other information related to my life and employment, without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I hereby release the school, my former employers, all other references, and all other parties from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure. I waive the right to ever personally view any references given to the school.

Since I will be working with children, I understand that I must submit to a fingerprint check by the FBI and possibly other federal and state authorities. I agree to fully cooperate in providing and recording as many sets of my fingerprints as are necessary for such an investigation. I authorize the school to conduct a criminal records check. I understand and agree that any offer of employment that I may receive from the school is conditional until the school has received the background information, including criminal background information. The school may refuse employment or terminate conditional employment if the school deems any background information unfavorable or that it could reflect adversely on the school or on me as a Christian role model.

I understand that this application for employment is valid for no more than 120 days. After that, I must resubmit an application in order to be considered for positions at this school.

I understand that this is only an application for employment and that no employment or employment contract is being offered at this time.
