Our Mission and Statement of Faith

The mission of the Institute for Christian Studies is to provide adult Christian education and training for interested lay persons, aspirants to the vocational diaconate, and clergy seeking continuing education.

 

We, the faculty and members of the Institute for Christian Studies Commission, "believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, and to contain all things necessary to salvation", and will "conform to the doctrine discipline and worship of the Episcopal Church." Declaration of Conformity, BCP pp.513, 526, 538.
