Statement of Values

We believe the Bible, comprised of both the Old and New Testaments to be God’s Word which is reliable and relevant for guiding our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. The Bible tells us that God created everything, including the human race. By His design, God created both male and female “in His image.” In the Book of Genesis, the Bible clarifies that the woman was fashioned out of man, which indicates the complementary and reciprocal nature of the relationship between men and women. God also instructed them to be fruitful and multiply, in other words, to have children. This is the basis for family and marriage. When God looked upon everything He made, He said it was very good.

Marriage between a man and a woman is the context for family, relationship, sexual intimacy and behavior. Any sexual intimacy or behavior that is outside of the context of marriage is contrary to God’s design and will, and violates the Bible’s teaching for sexual purity. We affirm our belief that marriage is a good thing and that according to God’s plan, marriage is between one man and one woman.  

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

Statement of Faith

Pleasant Hill Christian School supports the Occidental Community Church Statement of Faith as presented in Article I, Section II of the Church Bylaws:
  1. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; I Corinthians 13:14)
  2. We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God which constitutes the divine and only rule for Christian faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)
  3. We believe in the both the deity and the humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His blood shed for our sins, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the righthand of the Father in glory, in His present intercessory work, and in His future return in power and glory. (John 1:12-14: Romans 3:23-25, 4:25: I Peter 1:3-5; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25)
  4. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men. (Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30; Titus 3:5; I Corinthians 2:12)

  6. We believe that the Church – which is presently His Body and shall be the Bride of Christ – is a spiritual organism composed of all believers, irrespective of their affiliation with Christian organizations. (Ephesians 1:22, 5:25-27; I Corinthians 12:12-14)
  7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they who are saved to the resurrection of life; they who are lost to the resurrection of judgment. (I Corinthians 15:15-17; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14; Acts 24:15)
