The scriptures are regarded as inspired and canonical, the supreme authority and guide in all matters of Christian doctrine and practice. The good news we both study and proclaim is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. This is a vital personal experience, which everyone needs and may receive. A Spirit-filled life is a privilege of every Christian and a prerequisite to effective ministry. The seminary is committed to teachingand promoting the biblical message of holiness.
Spiritual formation is intentional at the seminary.
Leadership that is truly Christian requires spiritual growth and maturation through Bible study, prayer, worship, and other spiritual exercises carried out in classes, chapel and small group experiences. Students develop and articulate their own Christian convictions, philosophies in ministry, and personal goals. Theory must find its hands in practice at the seminary. Classroom learning and field experience are mutually essential for ministry and Christian leadership. Seminary education must include introductory practice in preaching, evangelism and counseling, as well as studies in Bible, theology and church history.
