Statement of Belief - LEAH Schools

FAITH STATEMENTS:

Every day, God gives us the opportunity to live, to learn and to love. He challenges those of us who follow Christ to do that by developing a Biblical worldview and to put our faith into action. These statements act as a template through which we strive to become all that God calls us to be. (For a more detailed explanation of these statements, go to The Lutheran Church
- Missouri Synod website.)

What We Believe:

ABOUT THE BIBLE: The Bible is the true Word of God without error or contradiction and, therefore, is the final authority in all matters of faith and life. We believe that the Bible gives clear direction on critical issues such as homosexuality, abortion and the sanctity of marriage. Through the eyes of God s Word, we seek to develop a Biblical worldview that compels us to love and action.

(Psalm 139:13-16; Mark 10:5-9; Romans 1:21-27; 2 Corinthians 5:16; 2 Timothy 3:15-17)
