Statement for Students

Christian Community

Christian Standards

As a Christian institution of learning, we require our students to be honest and forthright, including agreeing to the following basic statement of faith, by signing it upon matriculation as an acknowledgment of their assent to its truth:
  1. I believe that the Holy Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, is the final and supreme authority in faith and life, and being inspired by God the Holy Spirit, is inerrant in the original manuscripts.
  2. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, this Trinity being one God, eternally existing in three persons.
  3. I believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ; that He was born of the Virgin Mary and begotten of the Holy Spirit.
  4. I believe that the origin of man was by fiat of God in the act of creation as related in the Book of Genesis; that he was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred physical and spiritual death. I affirm that all humanity is descended from Adam and Eve. They are historical persons created by God in a special formative act, and not from previously existing life forms.
  5. I believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and are in need of a Savior for their reconciliation to God.
  6. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior, that He was crucified for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a voluntary representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him and confess Him before men are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
  7. I believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus, in His ascension into Heaven, and in that blessed hope, the personal return to this earth of Jesus Christ, and He reigns now and shall continue to reign forever.
  8. I believe in the bodily resurrection of all persons, judgment to come, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
We not only require our students to agree to this statement, but also require this of visiting lecturers or other special teachers or speakers.  In the event we invite someone to speak on campus who does not agree to this basic statement for some reason, we will clearly note the purpose of the invitation, and the fact of their divergence from our community standards.  For example, it could be that we invite a security expert to speak about personal safety as a service for new students not used to living on their own, and we may not require such a person to agree to our statement of faith to come speak on that specific topic.  Similarly, if we host a debate with someone outside our community, there may be a person who does not agree to this statement, and we would note this clearly.
