Purpose Statement:

Our purpose as an institution of higher learning with a distinctively biblical curriculum is committed to academic and practical programs designed to prepare servant-leaders for a variety of vocational and volunteer church-oriented ministries locally and worldwide.

We Affirm the Following:

  1. The Grace of God in justification is an unconditional free gift.

  2. The sole means of receiving the free gift of eternal life is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whose substitutionary death on the cross fully satisfied the requirement for our justification.

  3. Faith is a personal response, apart from our works, whereby we are persuaded that the finished work of Jesus Christ has delivered us from condemnation and guaranteed our eternal life.

  4. Justification is the act of God to declare us righteous when we believe in Jesus Christ alone.

  5. Assurance of justification is the birthright of every believer from the moment of faith in Jesus Christ, and is founded upon the testimony of God in His written Word. 

  6. Spiritual growth, which is distinct from justification, is God’s expectation for every believer; this growth, however, is not necessarily manifested uniformly in every believer.

  7. The Gospel of Grace should always be presented with such clarity and simplicity that no impression is left that justification requires any step, response, or action in addition to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
