STATEMENT OF FAITH

All Trustees, employees, and any other persons acting as recognized representatives of Dallas

Christian College shall be willing to affirm the following statement of faith which includes the

statements on sexuality, marriage and the sanctity of human life:

 

“That the Bible, or Holy Scriptures, alone is the divinely inspired Word of God, and therein is

contained the revelation of the deity of Jesus Christ, the plan of salvation for mankind, and the

faith and work of the Church; furthermore, that the testimony of such Scriptures testifies to

prophecy concerning His advent, virgin birth, miraculous life, blood atonement, bodily

resurrection, ascension into heaven, and final return, and is expressly and historically true in the

commonly accepted meaning of the terms; in addition, that the Church of the New Testament

ought everywhere to be restored with its divine plan of admission: faith, repentance, and baptism,

with consequent godly life; and finally, that the Scriptures are wholly sufficient to build the

kingdom of God.”

 

Statement on Sexuality

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These

two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen. 1:26-27).

Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

 

Statement on Marriage

We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in

a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen. 2:18-25). We believe that marriage

between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His rescue

mission (Eph. 5:21-33). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man

and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has

commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man

and a woman.

 

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, cohabitation, fornication,

homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and

offensive to God (Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10).

 

Statement on the Sanctity of Human Life

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of

inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or

mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death.

We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139)
