What We Believe

We are a confessional Institute. We are committed to theological integrity and biblical fidelity. The Confession of Faith of the institute shall be the Baptist Faith and Message, and shall be subscribed to in writing by all faculty, without hesitation or mental reservation. The Confession of Faith does not exhaust the extent of the Institute’s beliefs, however. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and the Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality are recognized by the Institute as guiding documents that clarify and establish the meaning of the Confession of Faith. Furthermore, the Bible itself, as the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of humankind, is the ultimate source of all that the Institute believes.
