Statement of Faith

The Institute endorses the ancient creeds that express the shared beliefs of the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches: the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. In light of ongoing debate, the Institute affirms central beliefs held by orthodox Christians: the existence of the Triune God in the persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ and His physical death and resurrection; and the reliability and inspiration of the miraculous in scripture.
