OUR BELIEFS

 WE AFFIRM:

  • The truth and integrity of all scripture

  • The Christian Creeds (Apostles & Nicene), along with several portions of The Lausanne Covenant

  • The importance of membership in a church

 
 

  Why truth?

We see the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to be a foundational fact of reality,

the same way we believe in and rely upon the earth’s orbit of the sun.

Why turn to Christian scripture?

We have been given the Bible so that we might know definitively what is good and

true and beautiful. We see through a glass darkly. In order to navigate a muddled

world with failing sight, we must turn to the truth of scripture, so that weak eyesight

can be healed and so that we can then accurately describe the world in which we live.

We believe that, in the Father’s providence, we have been planted alongside friends in

local churches. Friendship with sisters and brothers is necessary for us to identify

the plank in our own eyes and for us to be reminded of God’s transforming love.

Is the EC Study Center affiliated with a denomination?

The EC Study Center is not affiliated with a denomination. We hope to include a

diversity of voices and perspectives in our discussions, while also making

participants aware of where we are coming from (see the affirmations above).

In all this, we hope to equip participants to speak thoughtfully and truthfully about scripture and the Christian tradition, both at EC Study Center events and on the ECU & PCC campuses more generally.
