What we believe

Statement of Faith:

Headington Hill Classical Academy teaches from within the Christian faith and will relate class concepts to the Christian faith when pertinent. We will affirm the dogmas expressed in the Nicene Creed without exception (see below), and affirm traditional moral teachings of the faith, such as:

● The sanctity of life (treating life as sacred from conception until natural death);
● Historic orthodox standards of human sexual behavior (including gender as assigned at birth, sexual identity, and chastity–exclusive monogamous fidelity within marriage and abstinence outside of marriage); and
● Christian marriage is defined as the sacramental union of one man and one woman.

Our faith commitment is summarized in the Nicene Creed:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried.

On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
