God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in power and glory, one in essence.

What we confess
before we teach.
This is the shared Christian core that every Christian-worldview and Biblical Studies Knowledge Tree is written from. It is linked from each course rather than repeated inside it.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Curiosity Tree stands in the historic Christian faith.
We confess the faith summarized in the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed — the faith the church has held since the earliest centuries.
The confession
What we
believe.
These articles define the shared core. Christian-worldview and Biblical Studies Knowledge Trees are written consistently with them.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible, comprising the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. It is trustworthy and authoritative for faith and life, and it is the standard by which every claim of this curriculum about God, humanity, and salvation is measured.
Creation
We believe God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, and that creation is His work and displays His character.
Humanity
We believe every person is made in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity and worth. We believe humanity turned away from God, and that this separation is real and universal, affecting every part of human life.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day. He ascended to the Father and will return to judge the living and the dead.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, and not earned by human effort or merit.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God, present and at work in the world, who brings people to faith and dwells in and forms those who believe.
The Church
We believe in one holy, universal church — all who belong to Christ across every time, place, and tradition.
The last things
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting.
Deliberately short
What this statement
does not decide.
Christians who hold everything above in common have disagreed for centuries about a great deal else — often thoughtfully, and often for reasons worth understanding. Curiosity Tree does not take a house position on these:
- the mode and proper recipients of baptism
- the nature of the Lord’s Supper
- church government and ordination
- the timing and sequence of Christ’s return
- the relationship between God’s sovereignty and human choice
- the age of the earth and the length of the creation days
- the continuation or cessation of particular spiritual gifts
- the role of women in church leadership
- the observance of the Sabbath and the Christian calendar
Where a course touches one of these, it describes the disagreement rather than resolving it. It names the main positions Christians hold, explains the reasoning behind each fairly, and says why the question is genuinely open. It does not present one as settled, and it does not present another tradition through a caricature.
That is a teaching decision as much as an editorial one. A student who has met only one side of a live question is unprepared to think about it, and a student who was told a disputed question was closed will one day discover it was not.
Parent clarity
What families
should expect.
This statement shapes how Christian and Biblical Studies Knowledge Trees are written, labeled, and reviewed.
Every Christian-worldview course is written consistently with this statement. Its influence is concentrated where a subject touches origin, purpose, authority, and meaning; arithmetic, grammar, dates, and laboratory procedure are the same in either pathway.
Every Biblical Studies course is explicitly Christian, and carries a short statement of its own naming which disputed questions it covers and how it handles them. That statement appears on the course’s scope and sequence and again before you assign it, so you can read it and decide.
A secular pathway is offered for every field except Biblical Studies, taught with the same academic rigor and without a religious framework. Families choose per learner and per subject; nobody is required to take one pathway for everything.
Other traditions and other faiths are described accurately. A World Religions course explains what adherents of each tradition actually believe, in terms they would recognize. Fair representation of a view is not agreement with it, and it is a prerequisite for thinking honestly about anything.
