经过多次祈祷和仔细考虑, this 信仰声明 humbly and thoughtfully memorializes the sincere historically held religious beliefs of Hardin-Simmons University. The institution remains committed to providing excellence in education enlightened by Christian faith and values.
我们渴望像上帝爱我们一样去爱每一个人. Hardin-Simmons will continue to welcome students from diverse backgrounds and experiences and encourage them to pursue excellence in education and grow in the knowledge and practice of 上帝’s Word expressed in the Holy Bible.
这份信仰宣言指导着治理的各个方面, 管理局, 管理, 行动, 以及学校的就业实践. While we want students to become knowledgeable of world views and perspectives on faith and life, the education and discipleship provided to students by the university must advance our Vision and Mission and not conflict with this 信仰声明.
耶稣基督
我们相信耶稣基督, 道成肉身, 完全的神和完全的人, 是谁替我们死，又从死里复活，升到天上呢. 基督的再来将完成神的救赎使命. 耶稣基督是神与人之间唯一的中保.

上帝
我们相信独一又真又活的神, 创造天地的主, 显现在三个人身上:父亲, 儿子, 和圣灵. 上帝是全能的，无所不在的，无所不知的. 神必永远掌权. 上帝就是爱.

圣经
We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired authority for life and faith. The Bible is 上帝’s word and accomplishes His purpose, does not return empty, and will stand forever.

危害人类
我们相信人类是按照上帝的形象创造的. Humankind disobeyed 上帝 and fell from a sinless state when tempted by Satan. 因为所有人都有罪, 他们与神分离，需要拯救和救赎. Because of His great love, 上帝 provided a way for humanity to be put right with him. The death and resurrection of 耶稣基督 provide for rescue and redemption from sin.

The Church
We believe that the church was instituted by Jesus and that he is the head of the church. The church is the gathered community of believers built together for 上帝 by the Spirit and serving as the body of Christ in the world. The church is called to be Christ’s ambassadors and given the ministry of reconciliation.

Sexuality
We believe that 上帝 created the human 竞赛 with two genetic 性es, male and female.

婚姻
We believe that marriage has been established by 上帝 to be a life-long, 一个遗传的男性和一个遗传的女性之间的契约关系. We also believe that 性ual activity is intended by 上帝 to be expressed solely in the context of a loving marriage between one genetic male and one genetic female.
