We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the verbal, plenary, inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and practice.

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, one in being, essence and power; yet eternally existing in three distinct persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice or our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on high, He now is our High Priest and Advocate.

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age to convict mankind, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

We believe that man and woman were created in the image of God but fell into sin. As a result all human beings are born with a sinful human nature, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

We believe in the personal, premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ for the church and in the subsequent visible and premillennial return of Christ with His church to establish His kingdom on earth.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

We believe that Carver Baptist Bible College, Institute & Theological Seminary should have no relationships which would hinder its faculty from exposing apostasy, heresy or other sin. We stand separated unto God and from worldliness in personal behavior as well as corporate church programs.
