Statement of Faith

At Tabernacle Bible College and Seminary, our beliefs are rooted in the unchanging truth of Scripture and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Read our Statement of Faith below.

The Word of God

We believe in the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God. The Holy Scriptures are the revelation of His mind and will to man. The Bible is our infallible, all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life.

God

We believe in one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is true God and true man, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a perfect and sinless human life.

Humanity and the Fall

We believe in the depravity of the nature of man through his fall in the Garden of Eden, and in the absolute inability of man to save himself from eternal punishment by his own works.

The Finished Work of Christ

We believe in the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Through His sacrifice, Christ has accomplished complete and eternal redemption.

The maturing of the believer is the unveiling of His finished work. God set His approval on Christ’s work by raising Him from the dead and enthroning Him at His own right hand in Heaven.

Christ is:

The Head of the Church

The Lord of the individual

The High Priest over the House of God

The Advocate in the family of God

The Return of Christ

We believe in the literal return of Christ to this earth for His Church, to establish His Kingdom.

Our Position

TBCS is a non-denominational institution. We are committed to providing a Bible-based education without denominational bias.
