Erskine Theological Seminary is, at once, Biblical, Evangelical, and Reformed. Our burden to prepare men and women for Christian ministry and service is guided by our values.Our faith is expressed in the Westminster Confession of faith and the Westminster shorter and larger catechisms. In 2008, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church adopted the following definition of the beliefs that constitute the Evangelical Christian faith. All faculty members and director-level staff members (hired since 2008) subscribe to this statement:The word "evangelical" comes from a Greek root meaning "good news," and it refers to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a broad sense, Evangelicals are people who believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word and that individuals can become Christians only by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Evangelicals believe:1. The Bible alone, being God-breathed, is the Word of God Written, infallible in all that it teaches, and inerrant in the original manuscripts.2. That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.3. In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through the shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.4. That for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.5. In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.6. In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.7. In the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
