OUR BELIEFS -
As a Christian college, we embrace the belief in the following:
We believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:17).
We believe in God's progressive revelation and plan over time.
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons, also known as the Trinity or Triune Godhead – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Author and Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Second person in the Godhead of the Trinity or Triune Godhead. We believe that Jesus was and is eternal in His person and nature as the Son of God who was with God at the beginning of creation (John 1:1). We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin called Mary according to the scriptures (Matthew 1:18), thus giving rise to our fundamental belief in the Virgin Birth and all the miraculous events surrounding the phenomenon (Matthew 1:18-25).
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, proceeds from the Father and the Son, is of the same substance, equal in power and glory, and is together with the Father and the Son, to be believed in, obeyed, and worshipped. (John 16:13; Acts 1:8, 8:39).
We believe God created man as a triune being, comprised of spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). We believe that the spirit of man makes him conscious of God, contains his moral conscience and intuition, and is the place of communion with God.
We believe that man by nature is sinful, has fallen from the glorious and righteous state within which he was created, and has become unrighteous and unholy. Man, therefore, must be restored to the state of holiness from which he has fallen by being born again (John 3:7).
We believe one must confess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Roman 10:9-10)
We believe that Baptism in the Holy Ghost is a distinct and separate experience after conversion and regeneration that empowers the believer to be a witness (Acts 1:8).
We believe in the second coming of Christ; that He shall come from heaven to earth, personally, bodily, visibly (Acts 1:11; Titus 2:11-13; Matthew 16:27; 24:30; 25:30; Luke 21:27; John 1:14, 17; Titus 2:11) and that the Church, the bride, will be caught up to meet Him in the air (1Thessalonians 4:16-17).
We believe the Lord’s Supper symbolizes the Lord’s death and suffering for the benefit and in the place of His people.
We believe that Water Baptism is necessary as an ordinance of our faith. (Colossians 2:12).
