Faith Statement

At Anoint the World University, we affirm the authority, sufficiency, and truth of the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God. Scripture is the foundation for every aspect of our teaching, community life, and institutional mission. We believe the Bible speaks with divine authority on all matters of faith, conduct, and learning—and it is our unwavering guide as we pursue Christ-centered education.

Our purpose is clear: to develop faithful, capable followers of Jesus Christ, prepared to serve their communities and the world with conviction, humility, and purpose. Every academic course, faculty interaction, and student experience at Anoint the World University is designed to reflect and uphold biblical truth.

The faith that shapes Anoint the World University is not only personal but deeply rooted in the historic confessions of the Christian Church. We fully embrace the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed as foundational expressions of Christian belief, affirming the essential doctrines of the Christian faith that have united believers across generations.

These truths inform who we are and guide what we do—ensuring that our institution remains anchored in God’s Word, focused on Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

God

In the one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinite in love, perfect in judgments and unchanging in mercy. God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

Scripture

In the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both the Old and New Testaments, the only written Word of God, without error in all it affirms. The Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Holy Spirit preserves God’s Word in the church today and by it speaks God’s truth to people of every age.

Humankind

That human beings were created in the image of God. This image was marred in every part through the disobedience of our first parents, and fellowship with God was broken. God, in His prevenient grace, restores moral sensibility to all humankind and enables all to respond to His love and to accept His saving grace, if they will.

Jesus Christ

That Jesus Christ is God’s Son, incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. He died for the sins of all, taking on Himself, on behalf of sinful persons, God’s judgment upon sin. In His body, he rose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for us;

Holy Spirit

That the Holy Spirit is God present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was given to the church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ lives in His church, the gospel is proclaimed, and the kingdom of God is manifested in the world;

Justification

That God graciously justifies and regenerates all who trust in Jesus Christ. Believers become children of God and begin to live in holiness through faith in Christ and the sanctifying Spirit;

Entire Sanctification

God calls all believers to entire sanctification in a moment of full surrender and faith subsequent to their new birth in Christ. Through sanctifying grace, the Holy Spirit delivers them from all rebellion toward God and makes possible wholehearted love for God and others. This grace does not make believers faultless nor prevent the possibility of their falling into sin. They must live daily by faith in the forgiveness and cleansing provided for them in Jesus Christ;

Assurance of Believers

That all believers are assured that they are children of God by the inward witness of God’s Spirit with their spirits, by faith in the gracious promises of God’s Word, and by the fruit of the Spirit in their lives;

Christians in Society

That Christians are called to live in daily witness to the grace which comes to us in Jesus Christ, to preach the gospel to every person according to the command of Christ, and to declare God’s insistence upon righteousness and justice in all relationships and structures of human society;

The Church

The Church is the people of God, composed of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Church is Christ’s body; it is visible in the world wherever believers, in obedience of faith, hear the Word, receive the sacraments and live as disciples;

Return of Christ

In the personal return of Jesus Christ, in the bodily resurrection of all persons, in final judgment and eternal reward and punishment;

God’s Ultimate Victory

In God’s ultimate victory over Satan and all evil, and the establishment of His perfect kingdom in a new heaven and a new earth.
