Mail all forms to: Victory Life Academy Attention: HR Department PO Box 427 Durant, OK 74702VLA’s Statement of FaithVictory Life Academy’s Statement of Faith is based on the scriptures as the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, which is the creed of the church and proceeds with the following authoritative basics in clear focus. We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that men are sinful in God’s eyes and, therefore, need to be born again to be saved. There is an ever present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and in the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe moral values are not determined by human expediency or intellectual precepts but by the determination and acceptance of the principles of the righteousness found in God’s Holy Word - the Bible. We believe the church, the body of Christ, is God’s chosen community and the fellowship of the redeemed.Victory Life Academy’s Statement of Faith is based on the scriptures as the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, which is the creed of the church and proceeds with the following authoritative basics in clear focus.
