Doctrinal Statement

Rocky Mountain College is positioned within the historic mainstream evangelical community, as represented by this Doctrinal Statement.

The Godhead

There is one God, eternally existent and equal in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ came incarnate, was born of a virgin, and was resurrected bodily from the dead.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit convicts and reproves the world of sin, sanctifies and indwells the believer, instills the believer with stability and power, and leads into all truth.

Scripture

Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, is, in the original manuscripts, divinely inspired, infallible, and the supremely authoritative Word of God.

Salvation

Salvation is the work of Jesus Christ whereby, following the response of our faith and repentance, we are forgiven and experience newness of life in Christ Jesus, receive the Spirit of adoption and are made heirs of the Kingdom of God.

Sanctification

Sanctification is the empowering by God of the believer, through the Holy Spirit who indwells and fills, to live a life of continuing growth in righteousness and holiness. The sanctified life is expressed through love out of a pure heart and obedience to the Word of God.

Church

The church is the Body of Christ which emerged at Pentecost and is composed of believers who enter that body through conversion. The local church is a manifestation of the universal church organized for fellowship, instruction, prayer, and witnessing.

Second Coming

Jesus Christ will return imminently in glory and power to call the church to Himself and establish His kingdom forever.

The Future

The future will include the resurrection of the dead, the future general judgement, and an eternal state in which the righteous experience eternal life and the wicked, endless punishment.
