Trinity School is a Christian school, dedicated to a vision of education that is rooted in the Triune God. As an independent school, without institutional ties to any church or denomination, we remain committed to what C. S. Lewis called “mere Christianity”: “no insipid interdenominational transparency, but something positive, self-consistent and inexhaustible.” We hold to those truths which have united Christians through the ages, across the boundaries of time, place, race, denomination, and tradition:
· The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, existing eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love and glory.
· The unique divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness, and authority of the Bible.
· The value and dignity of all people: created in God’s image to live in love and holiness, but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.
· Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.
· Justification by God’s grace to all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
· The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and new calling to obedient service.
· The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, manifest in worshiping and witnessing churches making disciples throughout the world.
· The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people with justice and mercy, giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.
Employees who find that they no longer believe or support the elements of Trinity School’s Doctrinal Commitments must discuss this matter with their immediate supervisor. This situation may lead to a conference with the Head of School and may affect employment.
