What We Believe
last updated: december 12, 2025
Living Arts Press™ is a Christian educational publisher serving homeschooling mothers through resources shaped by Scripture, the classical Christian tradition, and a confessional understanding of vocation, limits, and grace.
This Statement of Belief is offered for clarity and transparency, so readers may understand the theological posture from which this work proceeds.
Holy Scripture
We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority for faith and life.
Scripture is received as gift, not leveraged as pressure. It is read in context, confessed faithfully, and trusted to accomplish what God intends through it.
All Scripture quotations used in Living Arts Press™ resources are taken from the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible.
The Triune God
We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Creation and Humanity
We believe that God created all things good and continues to sustain His creation.
Human beings are created in the image of God and are therefore persons of inherent dignity and worth. At the same time, humanity is fallen and unable to restore itself to God apart from divine grace.
Children are not projects to be perfected, but persons entrusted by God to parents for faithful care, formation, and instruction within the limits of creaturely life.
Sin and Grace
We believe that all people are conceived and born in sin and are in need of salvation.
Salvation is entirely the work of God’s grace, given freely through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from human merit, effort, or works.
Grace is not a reward for obedience. It is the ground upon which faithful obedience becomes possible.
Christ and Redemption
We believe that Jesus Christ, true God and true man, lived a sinless life, suffered, died, and rose again for the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of the world.
Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ has reconciled sinners to God and secured eternal life for all who trust in Him.
This redemption frees the Christian from fear-driven striving and from the need to justify oneself through performance—whether spiritual, moral, or educational.
Faith and Vocation
We believe that faith is created and sustained by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.
The Christian life is lived primarily through vocation—the ordinary callings and responsibilities God gives to serve neighbor and community. Parenting, teaching, homemaking, and learning are holy callings when received in faith.
Faithfulness is measured not by visible outcomes or worldly success, but by trust in God’s promises and obedience within the limits He provides.
Education and Formation
We believe that education is a work of formation rather than mere information transfer.
Formation unfolds slowly, unevenly, and often invisibly across time. It cannot be rushed without distortion, nor reduced to metrics without loss.
Living Arts Press™ understands classical education—and the Trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric—not as rigid stages or benchmarks, but as lifelong arts that mature as children grow in wisdom, understanding, and expression.
Education serves the formation of persons who attend carefully, think truthfully, speak honestly, and live responsibly before God and neighbor.
Rest, Limits, and Hiddenness
We believe that God has ordered human life to include limits, rest, and seasons of hiddenness.
Rest is not weakness. Withdrawal is not failure. Periods of obscurity often precede clarity and fruitfulness, as seen throughout Scripture.
Living Arts Press™ affirms the necessity of rest, sabbath rhythms, and withdrawal from pressure—especially for mothers carrying significant vocational weight.
The Church
We believe in one holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, in which the Gospel is rightly taught and the Sacraments are administered according to Christ’s institution.
Living Arts Press™ is not a church and does not replace the preaching office, the sacraments, or pastoral care. It exists to serve families within the life of the Church, not apart from it.
Authority and Responsibility
Living Arts Press™ operates under the authority of Scripture and within the responsibility of Christian authorship.
All materials reflect deliberate editorial judgment, theological accountability, and pastoral care. While assistive tools may be used in the development process, responsibility for all content rests with the human author and publisher.
Closing Affirmation
Living Arts Press™ exists to serve Christian homeschooling mothers with clarity, restraint, and hope.
We believe that faithfulness does not require haste, that formation cannot be forced, and that nothing essential is lost by waiting.
This work proceeds in trust—trust in God’s promises, trust in the slow work of formation, and trust that grace is sufficient for both mother and child.

The Triune God
We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- God the Father is the creator and preserver of all things.
- God the Son, Jesus Christ, is true God and true man, our Lord and Redeemer.
- God the Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the Church and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith.
