Every family enrolling in CCA becomes a part of an extended family. CCA asks that at least one parent be a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ who agrees with this Statement of Faith. This statement is by no means complete and is not offered as a final doctrinal statement. CCA families come from diverse denominational backgrounds. However, this Statement of Faith represents a core of central beliefs that are considered essential for effective bonding and fellowship among families.
We believe the Bible is the only inspired and infallible written Word of God and constitutes complete and final revelation and is the final authority for faith and life. The Bible in its original autograph of Old and New Testaments, is without error in whole and in part, including theological concepts as well as geological and historical details.
We believe that one God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh being fully God and fully man, being born of a virgin and found without sin.
We believe that all men are in violation of God's righteous requirments and His holy character both by nature and act and are therefore under His wrath and condemnation. The central purpose of the first coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man's sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, the accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent visible bodily resurrection.
We believe that salvation is offered to everyone as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but relying wholly on the sacrificial work and death of Jesus Christ and His atoning blood.
We believe that we relate to each other as brothers and sisters committed to the family of God and we build strong, biblical families in Jesus Christ meeting the special needs of children, youth, adults, seniors, and godly families of every kind in Christ. Therefore, we value the monogamous marriage of one man to one woman as defined in scripture as the only kind of marriage relationship that God values or accepts.
