Page 1 of 6 HEARTS Statement of Faith (At least one parent and all registered teens must be in agreement with this statement) We believe: The Bible is the living, inspired, and infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). It is without error in whole or in part in its original language and constitutes God the Father’s completed and final revelation. In one God, eternally existing in three persons-God the Father, God the Son (who is the Lord Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit-each of who is equal in being, power, and glory. In the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, (John 3:16) His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death for our sins, His bodily resurrection, and His personal literal return. That man is saved by grace through faith and nothing of man enters into his salvation; it is a free gift. Man's efforts, regardless of how good or well intended, before or after salvation, have no bearing on one’s salvation. Salvation is only by the finished work of Christ. (Eph. 2:8,9) HEARTS Standards of Conduct (All registered students must agree to abide by these rules of conduct whenever they participate in a HEARTS class or activity) We greatly appreciate the cooperation of all our members in glorifying the Lord in everything we do. Therefore these Standards of Conduct need to be agreed to by all participating in HEARTS. “Whether then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the Glory of God.” I Cor. 10:31 1. SPEECH – I will not use any dirty language, crude gestures, gossip, sexual speech, or any speech that is offensive to my Lord, while at any HEARTS activities or classes. I will demonstrate integrity and truthfulness in what I do and say. “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Eph. 4:29) “and there must be no filthiness and silly talk or coarse jesting, which is not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.” (Eph. 5:4) Page 2 of 6 2. BODY – I will not use or have in my possession alcohol/illegal substance/tobacco or weapon at any HEARTS activity or class. I will dress in a manner that is pleasing to my Lord, while at any HEARTS activity or class. I will offer to help a teacher, staff member or fellow student when a need arises. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your Body.” (I Cor. 6:19,20) “I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1 & 2) 3. AUTHORITY – I will have a proper attitude toward my teachers, HEARTS parents and the GUMC facility. “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.” I will not pair off or participate in public displays of affection at any HEARTS classes or events because this can adversely affect the unity within our group. I will not listen to any unapproved music, TV, or movie watching at any HEARTS class or event. “as obedient students, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I AM HOLY.” (I Peter 1:14-16) “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.” (Phil. 4:8.) 4. ACCOUNTABILITY – I am willing to be held accountable for my own actions at all HEARTS events and classes and will lovingly hold others accountable for their actions. “and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more, as you see the day drawing near. (Heb. 10:24-25) Page 3 of 6 HEARTS for the Lord REGISTRATION FORM – School Year 2015-2016 Send to Joan Kirkwood, 21120 Blue Bill Court, Ashburn, VA 20147 Parents’ Names _____________________________________________________________ Address ___________________________________________________________________ Home Phone ________________________ E-Mail ________________________________ Your Church _______________________________________________________________ Your Student’s Youth Pastor ______________________Phone or E-Mail _______________ Homeschooled Children registering for HEARTS: Name Grade Birth date E-mail if different from above _____________________________ ______ _________ ________________________________ _____________________________ ______ _________ ________________________________ _____________________________ ______ _________ ________________________________ Please initial in front of each statement below as indication that you are in agreement with that statement: _____ We have read and understand the HEARTS Statement of Faith (required by both parents and all students for HEARTS membership.) _____ At least one parent has been saved by faith, through the grace of God, as a result of personally accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
