Statement of Faith

            North Central Seminary is a non-denominational Christian seminary.  Its statement of faith reflects the words of the Apostles Creed, one of Christianity’s 3 ecumenical creeds.

“North Central Theological Seminary believes the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His 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.  We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they who are saved unto the resurrection of life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Unlike seminaries that are serving a specific denomination, North Central Theological Seminary does not have an official doctrinal position beyond the essential and basic teachings as described above.  The faculty of North Central Seminary encourage our students to do critical thinking as they read textbooks and write papers.  That means to examine what they are reading, compare that to what they personally believe, and then explain when there are differences.  Each student at North Central Theological Seminary is encouraged to regularly ask, “What do I believe and why?”  Let the answers always come from God’s Word.
