What We Believe
1) THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that it is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:14-16)
2) THE TRINITY
We believe that God is Triune: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
3) THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God but that by voluntary disobedience fell from perfection, thereby imputing sinfulness to all human beings.
(Romans 5:12)
4) DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. (John and Matthew 1)
5) SALVATION
We believe that the only way to be saved is by faith in the blood sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is a gift from God through His grace. (Ephesians 2:8) We believe that, upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God. We believe that this salvation is eternal and cannot be lost. (John 10:28)
6) CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that it is the will of God for believers to walk in progressive sanctification, growing continuously in the faith. (Hebrews 6:1) We believe that the Holy Spirit gives all of us certain spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of our salvation. (Galatians 5:22-25)
7) SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent. (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11-13)
8) AFTER DEATH
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust; and in the eternal punishment of the lost and the eternal joy of the saved. We believe every person will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive eternal life or death.(Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10) We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17) We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as Savior. (2 Thessalonians 1:9)
9) GENDER IDENTITY AND MARRIAGE
We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture.(Genesis 2:24; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26-28) We believe that God creates each person as male or female from conception until natural death. These two distinct genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen. 1:26-28).
10) DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY
Each student, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, or Christian denomination will have access to the opportunities, resources, and support they need to reach their God-given potential. (Revelation 7:9-10)
