Employment introduction

Thank you for your interest in possible employment at Great Beginnings Christian Preschool. We realize that the key to a successful Christian school is its staff. We seek applicants who are professionally qualified, who really love children, and who, by the pattern of their lives, are Christian role models (Luke 6:40). Due to the fact that we are a Christian school, we require our employees to be born-again believers and actively involved in an evangelical, Bible-believing church.

Great Beginnings Christian Preschool is a religious educational ministry. As such, we are permitted to hire to our mission and employ those individuals who are the best match for our position openings. All prospective and current employees must agree to conduct their lives in conformity with the school's Doctrinal Statement.

Our beliefs

  • We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, infallible and supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal, plenary inspiration, so that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. This doctrinal statement does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs as that we believe that the Bible serves as the sole and final authority concerning all matters pertaining to truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind.
  • We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are one God.
  • We believe in God as absolute and sole creator of the universe, and that creation was by divine decree, not through evolutionary process.
  • We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in which He taught and did mighty works with signs and wonders exactly as revealed in the four Gospels, that He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sin and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later, He ascended to the Father's right hand where He is Head of the Church and intercedes for believers, and from where He is coming again personally, bodily, visibly to the earth to set up His millennial kingdom.
  • We believe that since in His death, by His shed blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us — men are saved, justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood.
  • We believe that such salvation with its forgiveness of sins, imparts a new nature and hope of eternal life, is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership or man's effort and is a pure grace.
  • We believe that a true believer is eternally secure, that he cannot lose his salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his Heavenly Father.
  • We believe that all who receive Christ become joint-heirs with Christ, and at death, their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the rapture their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in His divine presence.
  • We believe that it is the goal of every Christian to grow in spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, and fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.
  • We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. We believe that human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions including pre-born babies, the aged, the physical or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are, therefore, called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Psalm 139)
  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as a male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27) We believe that rejection of one's biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
  • We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18- 25) We believe that the institution of marriage is established in scripture as an ordinance that points the world to the relationship which God desires for His church. (Eph 5:25-27; Rev 19:7-9; Rev 21:2-9; Isaiah 54:5)
  • We believe marriage is ordained of God and is a spiritual and physical union in which a man and a woman are joined by God to live together as one. (Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:7) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
  • We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgenderism, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex and identity. (Genesis 2:24; Genesis 19:5, 13; Genesis 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4)

We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of Great Beginnings Christian Preschool as an extension of the Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the community, it is imperative that all persons that are employed by or volunteer with Great Beginnings Christian Preschool in any capacity, agree to and abide by this doctrinal statement. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thess 5:22)
