Literal Hermeneutics. We adopt a consistent, literal (historical, grammatical, and rhetorical) hermeneutic in every portion of Scripture.

Emphasis on Greek and Hebrew Exegesis. We share the deep conviction that teaching the Word of God itself builds believers int he faith for fruitful service. Therefore, Greek and Hebrew exegesis is foundational to our school's educational program.

Dispensational Theology. As a result of our literal hermeneutic, we are dispensational; i.e., we believe that Israel and the Church are distinct entities and that God's purpose in history is doxological.

The Sufficiency of Scriptures. We believe in the complete adequacy of Scripture, for in it God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. We hold, therefore, that the Word of God by itself is sufficient to prepare a person for a lifetime of effective ministry.

The Freeness of God's Grace. We hold fast to free grace--the view that God saves mankind by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. No works before, during, or after the moment of initial faith in Christ contribute anything to the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life that one receives through faith in Jesus Christ. The absence of good works during or after the moment of faith subtracts nothing from one's eternal position in Christ. However, good works determine whether one will receive eternal rewards.
