The following list is the foundation of beliefs on which The Oaks Tutorials is based. These are also the key elements of Christianity that will be unapologetically taught in various ways through all grade levels.

  1. We believe the Bible to be the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
  3. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all they contain, and that He upholds and governs them in accordance with his eternal will.
  4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through HIs shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and HIs personal return in power and glory.
  5. We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.
  6. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone.
  7. We believe that faith without works is dead.
  8. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  9. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved to the resurrection of life and those that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
  10. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  11. We believe the Bible teaches that God created man from the dust of the ground (non-living matter) after his own image and therefore man did not eveolve from lower life forms. We believe in the literal 6-day creation.

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him.

Colossians 1:16
  1. We believe the Bible teaches that God created man, male and female, after His own image and commissioned them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, taking dominion over teh earth and bringing it to mature fruitfulness for His glory. To this end, God ordained marriage to exist between one man and one woman. All sexual relationships between men and women are unlawful outside the bounds of the marriage covenant. All sexual relationships between members of the same sex are contrary to God’s created order and an abomination in His sight.
  2. We believe the Bible teaches that no man is intentionally to take the life on another, unless as an authorized representative of God as a magistrate in the administration of justice or in defense of himself or his neighbor (as a private citizen or as a member of the armed forces of his country). Otherwise, a man’s life is to be protected from the moment of conception till the day of death.
