To provide a learning environment:

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative,
inerrant Word of God. (II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21)

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons—
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)

We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14,
Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15 and 7:25); His miracles (John 2:11);
His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9);
His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the
Father (Mark 16:19); and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).

We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for
salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature: and that men are justified on the
single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith
alone we are saved. (John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead: of the believer to
everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever judgment and
everlasting separation from God. (John 5:28-29, I Corinthians 15:51-54)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-38)

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, I Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30 and 5:18)

Since we are a Wesleyan-established school, all doctrinal matters must conform to the “Articles of Religion” as stated
in the 2008 version of The Discipline of The Wesleyan Church.
