Healthy Diversity

The College is an interdenominational and multidisciplinary community that embraces diversity in gender and in socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, national, denominational backgrounds as well as traditions that are within the context orthodoxy.

Faithful Stewardship

We are committed stewards of the human, fiscal, and physical resources entrusted to us. We are accountable to one another for the quality of our community, the strength of our finances, and the utility and beauty of our campus as a place of intellectual engagement and personal growth. We pursue innovations which respect the environment and foster sustainability in the management of our resources.

Compassionate Community

We are committed to cultural diversity, mutual respect among all persons, compassion for others, honest and open communication, and fairness and integrity in all that we do. Christian values shape our campus culture and our interactions with others.

Biblical Integrity

We are committed to the truth that the Bible is the word of God at all times and that it has complete authority over all matters relating to faith and practice. We are convinced that the Bible is a transformational book that is able to change lives and communities. The Bible must be correctly interpreted, appropriately applied and consistently proclaimed.

Devotion and Spiritual Growth

We are committed to maintaining our rich Christian heritage which is deeply rooted in dependence on God and expressed in consistent prayer and devotion in a spirit-led environment. RCC is a worshipping community which emphasizes personal devotion, class devotion and chapel services. We expect students and staff to experience spiritual growth, develop spiritual discipline and bear witness to the love of Christ on and off campus.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. We believe that the Scriptures, consisting of the Old and the New Testaments, are fully inspired by God, that they are inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the supreme authority in faith and practice.
2. We believe in the one holy, almighty God, eternally existent in three co-equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ, as the Scriptures affirm, is the eternal Son of God and Son of Man, was born of a virgin, and is Himself very God. He is one person, having two distinct natures, and shed his blood in substitutionary sacrifice when he died for our sin according the Scriptures. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
4. We believe in the personal visible and premillennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5. We believe that the whole human race fell into sin in Adam, the head and progenitor of mankind, and that, because of sin, all men are totally depraved, at enmity with God, eternally lost.
6. We believe that salvation is only by grace, a free gift of God, through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
7. We believe in the final bodily resurrection of all the dead – those that are saved into eternal life, and those that are lost into eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire.
8. We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, the enemy of God, and the destroyer of men.
9. We believe that those who have never heard the Gospel are lost and that it is therefore our solemn responsibility to preach the Gospel to every creature.
10. We believe that all Christians should walk worthy of Christ in an overcoming, victorious life provided for them on a basis of faith in His redemptive work. We believe that Christians should grow daily in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord, constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit, who indwells every believer.
11. We believe in the Church universal, consisting only of those who are born again, the body and bride of Christ, evidenced today in local congregations for whom He now makes intersession in heaven, and for whom he shall come again.
