信仰声明
Adopted by the HSU 校董会 on November 3, 2022
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 神’s Word expressed in the Holy Bible.
This 信仰声明 directs all facets of the governance, 政府, 管理, 操作, 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, who died for us and was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. 基督的再来将完成神的救赎使命. 耶稣基督 is the only mediator between 神 and humanity.

神
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. 神就是爱.

圣灵
我们相信圣灵, 助手, 上帝与我们同在, 谁教导我们，带领我们在信心上成长. 当圣灵降临在我们身上时，我们就获得了能力.

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

人类
我们相信人类是按照上帝的形象创造的. Humankind disobeyed 神 and fell from a sinless state when tempted by Satan. 因为所有人都有罪, they are separated from 神 and stand in need of rescue and redemption. Because of His great love, 神 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.

教会
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 神 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.

性
We believe that 神 created the human race with two genetic sexes, male and female.
创世纪1:27，创世纪5:2，马可福音10:6
婚姻
We believe that marriage has been established by 神 to be a life-long, covenant relationship between one genetic male and one genetic female. We also believe that sexual activity is intended by 神 to be expressed solely in the context of a loving marriage between one genetic male and one genetic female.
