Core Principles
The Ohio Christian Education Network, as a part of Citizens for Community Values, exists to advance four Core Principles at the Ohio Statehouse:
1. Christian schools should have the freedom under law to operate according to their Biblical beliefs.
2. Parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and education of their children.
3. Ohio should have a “money follows the child” education funding system.
4. School choice programs should come with “no strings attached.” Member schools and organizations agree to these core principles.
OCEN’s Commitment
OCEN is committed to the following:
- Advancing the Core Principles at the Ohio Statehouse.
- Serve as a liaison for questions regarding legislation or issues with the Ohio Department of Education.
- Ohio-specific legislative updates reflecting the most pressing issues affecting Christian schools.
- Annual Statehouse Advocacy Day.
- Annual Report of Christian Education in Ohio.
- Concierge level service at the Ohio Statehouse including scheduling meetings with your legislators and Statehouse tours.
- Onsite and/or regional legislative advocacy training.
Statement of Faith
We affirm and believe these basic principles, and require all staff, faculty and board members of our organization to do the same:
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.
- We believe God immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God, and rejecting one’s biological sex rejects the created image of God.
- We believe God designed marriage as a unique conjugal relationship joining one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, life-long union. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman joined in marriage.
- We believe God endows all human life with inherent dignity at every stage of development and it must be respected and protected from conception to natural death. Thus, the unjustified, intentional taking of human life before or after birth is sinful and offensive to God.
