Beliefs
The College holds that there is one Church universal according to the ancient Apostles' Creed. At the same time, it recognizes that the one Church in time and history is made up of many confessing traditions and denominations. The College is committed to an approach to Christian undergraduate education that is based upon the classical Christian faith with its apostolic view of the church as one body with many members. Therefore, the College seeks to educate students of various theological traditions for service within their own denominations and churches. In addition, the College strives to create a climate for study and fellowship which encourages, equips, and enhances spiritual development and ministry.

Famous quotes containing the word beliefs:
“Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behavior of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“Other people’s beliefs may be myths, but not mine.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
