Westminster Seminary California believes without reservation
that the Bible is the very Word of God. God has inspired the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as his infallible and
inerrant revelation. These Scriptures alone are the source of
truth for the faith and life of Christians and of the church. Our students study the Bible with reverence and care because we
believe that the Word of God is the bread of life. Only through
preaching and teaching that exalt the saving work of Christ and
apply the Scriptures specifically to life will Christians grow
and flourish.
We are committed to and guided by the great confessions of the
Reformation era. We believe that they faithfully summarize the
teaching of Scripture and connect us to the wisdom of the church
in ages past. One of the besetting sins of the modern world is
the belief that today we are wiser than those who have come
before. We reject such a notion and prize the invaluable
presentations of the faith contained in our confessions. We
believe and teach confessional Reformed Christianity because
that is what the Scriptures teach and what the church needs.
We have also prepared two documents – “Testimony to our Time”
and “Our Testimony on Justification” – that speak to some
specific issues faced by Christians in our day. We want to be
clear about where we stand on these issues at Westminster
Seminary California. Part of our sense of accountability to the
church is a commitment to honest communication about what we
believe and teach here. |
