Multi-Denominational Policy

One of RMC's strengths is its multi-denominational character which makes it possible for students to rub shoulders with people from a wide spectrum of Christian thought and practice.

Rocky Mountain College endorses an evangelical faith, which holds that the Bible is divinely inspired and is the final authority for believers in all matters of faith and practice. Individuals must have experienced forgiveness of sin and expressed faith in Jesus Christ in order to be a Christian.

Christians are to grow by God's strength in the daily practice of their faith.

We affirm that an individual's commitment to Christ makes one a Christian, not the denomination to which one belongs. Believers, regardless of denominational affiliation, must evidence the "love for one another" which the Scriptures describe.

God has allowed the emergence of a variety of denominations, which clearly support the above statements. RMC itself is sponsored by one of these denominations - the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada.

As a result, we are a community of believers, providing a setting in which Christians learn to value personal commitment to Jesus Christ, which is found in believers of many Christian heritages. We respect the traditions arising out of these heritages and focus on developing Christians who stand together to advance the Kingdom of God.

Our students, faculty, administrators, and staff, therefore, assume the responsibility for building an openness to hear the perspectives of other Christian believers and determine not to degrade or undermine the beliefs or heritage of other Christians.
