Theology: I believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, his virgin birth, his sinless human life, his divine miracles, his victorious and atoning death, his bodily resurrection, his ascension, his mediatorial work, and his personal return in power and glory.
I believe in the salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe The Church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Christ. We are committed to the teachings of Christ, to obeying all of His commands, and to bringing the Gospel to this world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
Belief in the inerrancy of Scripture?: Yes

Additional classical training: Looking back, my high school had elements of classical education with some of the books we read such as The Divine Comedy, Beowulf, The Great Gatsby, Grapes of Wrath, and Mere Christianity.
More recently from a professional setting, I have been working at a classical school for the past two years.
Why I want to teach at a classical school: As I have taught at different types of schools(public charter, Christian, secular, international), I have found that Christian schools teaching from a classical mindset align with my personal views. In a world where books are being banned and view points are being canceled, it is important to preserve classical Christianity.
