Tampa Bay HEAT
A Biblical Worldview
Tampa Bay HEAT is a Christian-based ministry. All classes begin with a foundation
that assumes a biblical worldview. We do all that we do to glorify Christ and
shine His love to our community. Many events and sports competitions are opened
with prayer.
All Families Are Welcome
While our teachers and leaders share Christian faith, the Homeschool Resource
Center welcomes all families, regardless of their faith, to attend
and enjoy the opportunities we have to offer. It is our joy to have you join us!
Statement of Faith
We Believe…
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21
The Trinity
God has existed from all eternity in three Persons; God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
Jesus was God and came in human flesh, being fully God and fully man,
except without sin.
John 1:1-2, 14
Humanity & Sin
All people are in violation of God’s righteous requirements and His holy
character both by nature and act.
Romans 3:23 and 5:12
Human Life
Human life is valued from the moment of conception to the time of death.
All human life is precious in the sight of God.
Psalm 139:13-14; John 3:16
Marriage & Family
Marriage and family are institutions ordained by the Lord God Himself from
the very beginning of human history and these are sacred institutions.
Marriage is between one man and one woman. Any other definition of marriage
is contrary to the clear teachings of the Holy Bible and hence against the
expressed will of God.
Genesis 2:20b-24
Sexuality
God created men and women as sexual beings. Sexuality is an integral and
beautiful part of creation. We believe God forbids any attempt to alter
one’s gender. The Bible clearly teaches that any sexual act outside of
marriage whether in thought, word, or deed is sin.
Genesis 1:27-28; Matthew 5:27-28; I Corinthians 6:9-10,18; I Thessalonians 4:3-8
The Cross & Resurrection
The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty
for man’s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, the successful
accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent bodily resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:3
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit indwells the Christian enabling the individual to live a
godly life.
1 Corinthians 6:19; Romans 8:9,13; Galatians 5:16
Salvation
Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be
responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works
whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.
Acts 13:38-39; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9
