Solidly Biblical
The Bible is the heart and core of every educational program at Calvary Bible College & Theological Seminary. Theologically, Calvary can be described as biblical, fundamental, pre-millennial, and dispensational. Each year, every faculty member and trustee must affirm his wholehearted acceptance of the Bible as the inerrant, verbally inspired Word of God.
Doctrinal Understanding
Each student should realize that Calvary Bible College & Theological Seminary will graduate only those who possess a foundational understanding of the Holy Scripture and Calvary’s Doctrinal Statement.
Separated
It is Calvary’s desire to be separated unto God from worldliness, whether in personal actions, attitudes and thought, or in ecclesiastical programs and associations. Calvary’s position is one of being loyal to the biblical doctrine of ecclesiastical separation so that it has no embarrassing ties which might keep it from exposing apostasy, heresy, or sin. This is evidenced in its historical stand against the ecumenical teachings and practices of our day.
Evangelism and Missions
We believe that the “Great Commission” defines the primary mission of the Church. Calvary seeks to incorporate the spirit of evangelism and discipleship into the whole Calvary family, whether in the classroom, in chapel, or in extracurricular activities and projects.
A Friend of Bible-Believing Churches
Calvary stands with all who love Christ and preach His Word. The attitude throughout Calvary is nonsectarian. We are unreservedly loyal to all Bible-believing churches faithful to Christ and the Bible. Calvary is affiliated with the IFCA International and maintains a good relationship with independent and denominational churches and individuals that uncompromisingly hold to the historic fundamentals of the faith.
Institutional Position on the Tongues Movement
Calvary Bible College & Theological Seminary does not foster, teach, or provide a hospitable atmosphere for the “tongues” movement. If one of tongues persuasion desires to enter Calvary as a student and is willing to study with an open mind, he is welcome. However, he is definitely prohibited from practicing or propagating his belief concerning the tongues doctrine and is carefully helped to understand the institution’s position on this important issue. The institution’s position is clear. Tongues is not a part of our ministry, nor is it beneficial or necessary to our Christian life. It is neither sought nor encouraged. We are non-charismatic.
Nurturing Character and Truth
We are persuaded that the Scriptures teach that what we are is as important as what we know. Ephesians 4:15 clearly states that we are to speak the truth (doctrine) in love (Christlike character). This is the reason we put much effort in developing Christlike character and a servant’s heart while communicating God’s Word. In all matters we endeavor to display the “excellent spirit” of the prophet Daniel (Dan. 6:3). This man of God refused to compromise and yet he constantly displayed an attitude which endeared him to his superiors. He was neither vindictive nor self-righteous and by his dedicated life made a profound impact upon the kings of Babylon and Persia.
