Our Statement of Faith

The Lake Houston Conquerors is a Christian sports organization, which subscribes to the basic tenets of Biblical Christianity. The following statements are the belief positions of the Lake Houston Conquerors and the basis for its operations and teachings.

• The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and final authoritative Word of God.

• There is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Son was revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man in the flesh, except without sin. God the Holy Spirit indwells and seals any person who accepts Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death as the only payment for their sin.

• Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam’s sin all men fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God’s righteousness and holy character. Man is now under God’s wrath and condemnation, totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.

• In order to redeem man from his lost condition, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of man’s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross. Through His subsequent visible, bodily resurrection Jesus Christ has made the way for man to be reconciled with God the Father. Jesus Christ offers this free gift of salvation to man. It must be accepted individually in faith alone, not trusting in any personal acts or works, but in His death and resurrection only.

• Athletes are required to participate in a sport by gender unless the specific sport is identified as a co-ed event by the LHC Board. Gender is defined as the biological classification given at the time of birth. No Concession or allowance is allowed.

• The foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society was instituted by God to begin with marriage between one man and one woman. God created man and woman to complement and complete each other, and His design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. Thus, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman.

• We believe that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, we believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end and that we must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people. Following Christ’s example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity, and respect.
