Christian BackgroundPlease share your Christian testimony. How did you come to Christ?*The Statement of Faith is signed by all employees, volunteers, and families at WVCS. Please read it carefully and indicate your degree of support. I believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20). I believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7, Matthew 28:19). I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory (Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 1:36-38; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 2:9; Acts 2:23–24; Hebrews 8:1; Matthew 26:64; Hebrews 10:37; Luke 21:27). I believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Romans 5:12-19; 1 John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5). I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (John 16:8-10; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; Romans 8:4-8). I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:46; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8, 22:11). I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). I believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). I believe that the rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. I 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 (Genesis 2:18-25). We believe that the institution of marriage is established in scripture as an ordinance that points the world to the relationship God desires for His church (Ephesians 5:25-27, Revelation 19:7-9, Revelation 21:2-9, Isaiah 54:5). I believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of West Valley Christian School as an extension of the Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by West Valley Christian School in any capacity agree to and abide by all points put forward within this statement of faith (Matthew 5:16, Philippians 2:14-16, 1 Thessalonians 5:22).

I certify that the facts set forth in this application process are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that falsification of any statement or a significant omission of fact may prevent me from being hired, or if hired, may subject me to immediate dismissal regardless of the time elapsed before discovery. If I am released under these circumstances, I further understand and agree that I will be paid and receive benefits only through the day of release. I authorize West Valley Christian School to thoroughly interview the primary references I have listed, any secondary references mentioned through interviews with primary references, or other individuals who know me and know my testimony and work record. I also authorize the school to thoroughly investigate my work records and evaluations, my educational preparation, and other matters related to my suitability for the position. I authorize references and my former employers to disclose to the school any employment records, performance reviews, letters, reports, and other information related to my life and employment without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I release the school, my former employers, references, and all other parties from any claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure. I waive the right to view any personal references given to the school. Since I will be working with children, I understand that I must submit to a fingerprint check by the FBI and possibly other federal and state authorities. I agree to fully cooperate in providing and recording as many sets of my fingerprints as are necessary for such an investigation. I authorize the school to conduct a criminal records check. I understand and agree that any offer of employment that I may receive from the school is conditioned upon the receipt of background information, including criminal background information. The school may refuse employment or terminate conditional employment if it deems any background information unfavorable or if it could reflect adversely on the school or me as a Christian role model. I understand that this is only an employment application, and no employment contract is being offered at this time.Applicant Signature*
