Mission & Statement of Faith

Mission

The Theological Education Institute and Mars Hill Society seek:

  1. To educate the grassroots of the believing church in excellent biblical theology;
  2. To honor the unalienable rights given by God to all people equally, with specific emphasis in advancing religious, political and economic liberty;
  3. To bring the Gospel into all sectors of society -- government, education, media, business, science and the arts -- in service to the family and church;
  4. To welcome the toughest questions of all skeptics with graciousness in demeanor and rigor in thinking; and accordingly
  5. To let the goodness of Jesus the Messiah become transparently evident, and so build the kingdom of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Statement of Faith

The Theological Education Institute and Mars Hill Society affirm that:

  1. The classical orthodoxy of the Nicene Creed is a faithful summary of biblical essentials to faith;
  2. This faith is rooted and defined in the 66 canonical books of the Bible, which on their own exegetical terms equal the completely trustworthy, revealed and sufficient written Word of God; and
  3. The Protestant Reformation, in its classical evangelical identity, and in the goal of ecclesia reformata semper reformanda ("the church reformed and always reforming"), is the most hospitable context for a fully biblical faith and a true ecumenism.
