Statement of Faith

We believe that there is one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation to man and that it is verbally inspired and authoritative. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our salvation, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory. We believe the person and deity of the Holy Spirit performs the miracle of new birth in an unbeliever and indwells believers, enabling them to live a godly life. We believe that man was created in the image of God but because of sin, was alienated from God. That separation can be removed only by believing by faith alone, in Christ, God's gift of salvation which was made possible through his death, burial and resurrection.

NOTE: All Coaches are required to sign this statement indicating their agreement with it. Although players and parents are not required to sign the statement, we want all families to know that this is an important aspect of LHSA.
