Statements of Faith

A Condensed Confession from Our Articles of Faith

The following statements summarize the theological guidelines for individuals within the seminary community. We find this expression of theology as a meaningful perspective to guide our walk with god, to inform our dialogue with other Christians, and to shaper our ministry to the world in need.

1. Scripture
The Bible is the Word of god, the divinely inspired, inherent, infallible rule of faith and practice members.
2. The Trinity
The one true God exists eternally as the Holy Trinity of Father, son, and Holy Spirit, each with personality and deity.
3. Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of god, born of a virgin lived a sinless life, died on Calvary, rose from the grave and ascended into Heaven to intercede for all men.
4. The Holy spirit
The Holy Spirit keeps believers current with Christ, assuring them of personal salvation, producing the fruit of God’s character, and empowering for Christian witness
5. Humanity
Men and women are created in God’s image but, because of sin, are tragically lost apart from God’s redeeming grace.
6. Salvation
All people live under God’s mandate of repentance and through Christ are invited to be delivered form the guilt and power of sin and by faith restored to fellowship with Him.



7. Victorious Living
All believers have the subsequent possibility and invitation to be wholly and entirely sanctified by the Holy spirit and definitely empowered for victorious living to today’s world.
8. Perseverance
All believers have the possibility of keeping faith with God until He takes them to Heaven or the possibility of willfully casting aside faith and forfeiting the grace of God with all of its benefits and privileges.
9. Church
The Church is the visible Body of Christ, apostolic and universal, carrying out actions of love and redemption to the world in compassionate servitude according to the commandments of Christ.
10. Second coming
At the appointed time, Christ will actually return to gather His Church, to judge the world and to rule all in righteousness.
11. Eternal Rewards
Those who have lived in Christ will live in Heaven, while eternal pain and separation from God awaits those who have rejected Christ.
12. Christian Obligation
All believers through consecrated and joyful obedience reach out in ethical love to minister the saving work of Christ to the total person, physically, and spirityally.
