Statement of Belief

The Christian Faculty Network at Texas A&M University is committed to presenting a unified Christian testimony, indicating that we Christian faculty know Jesus Christ personally, believe Jesus Christ's claims are intellectually tenable, and encourage others to investigate the claims of Jesus Christ. In particular, we believe in:

• The Deity of Jesus Christ
• The necessity and efficacy of the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for the redemption of the world, and the historic fact of His bodily resurrection
• The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration
• The unique divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness, and authority of the Bible
• The expectation of the personal return of Jesus Christ
