What We Believe

As a confessional institution, the Seminary is committed to theological integrity and biblical fidelity. The Confession of Faith of the Seminary shall be the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted and amended by the Convention, and shall be subscribed to in writing by all faculty, without hesitation or mental reservation. The last substantial revision of the Baptist Faith and Message was adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000, with a limited revision to the article on The Church adopted in 2023. The Confession of Faith does not exhaust the extent of the Seminary’s beliefs, however. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and the Nashville Statement are recognized by the Seminary as guiding documents that clarify and establish the meaning of the Confession of Faith. Furthermore, the Bible itself, as the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of humankind, is the ultimate source of all that the Seminary believes.
