We believe:

1. That the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inerrant and complete Word of God, the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. [2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Jude 3]

2. That all authority is from God [Romans 13: 1-2]

3. That there is one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. [Deut. 6:4, Matt. 28:19, Luke 3:21-22]

4. That the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. [Luke 1:30-35, John 1:18, 3:16, Phil. 2:5-11]

5. That man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that, as a consequence, all mankind is declared by God to be totally depraved. [Gen. 1:26-27, 2:16-17, 3:6-19; Romans 3:10-23; 6:23; 7:18; 11:32; Gal. 3:22]

6. That the Lord Jesus Christ died as a substitutionary and complete sacrifice for the sins of the whole world and that only those who believe in Him are saved. [Romans3:24-28; 5:8-10; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 1 John 2:1-2]

7. That the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which he was crucified; that he ascended into Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church. [John 20:1-29, Acts 1:9-11; Eph. 1:20-23; Heb.1:3]

8. That on the sole condition of personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, men are born again by the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. [Rom. 3:24-28; 3:9-11; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:30]

9. That the Word of God teaches that it is the parents who are responsible for the educating of their children. [according to Deuteronomy 6:6-7]

Distinctives

1. We believe God's truths should be integrated into the intellectual development of our children in such a way that they learn the authority as well as the superiority of God's Word over the accumulation of human knowledge. We believe this teaching will not only build Godly character within our children, but could be the very thing to put within society a generation of Godly men and women who could be responsible for bringing this nation back to its biblical foundation. [Deut. 6:6-7; 2 Tim. 3:16-17]

2. We believe all authority is from God, [Romans 13:1-2] and advocate government compliance concerning Georgia home schooling law as long as scriptural principles are not violated. We, therefore, encourage all active participants of G.R.A.C.E. to comply with the home schooling laws of our state (i.e. reporting monthly attendance, periodic testing, etc.) We also believe this can be used as a favorable testimony concerning home education. "Let not then your good be evil spoken of." Romans 14:6 (KJV)

3. We believe that if G.R.A.C.E. is to fulfill its purpose as stated above, every member needs to be actively involved. As opportunities and activities are made known, individuals and families are encouraged to volunteer in areas of interest and talents. [1 Thessalonians 5:14-15]
