The faculty and staff of American Bible University (ABU) profess the Christian faith as it is summarized in the Apostles’, the Nicene, and the Athanasian Creeds.

We also hold the following documents, despite their differences, to be true expressions of the Christian faith in conformity with the Holy Scriptures:

• Luther’s Small Catechism
• The Heidelberg Catechism
• The Augsburg Confession and (Apology [Defense] of the Augsburg Confession)
• The Belgic Confession
• The Westminster Confession of Faith
• The Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689
• Statement of Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God.

We believe the Bible is the inerrant, authoritative, divinely-inspired Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16). Therefore, even as Jesus “opened the Scriptures” to the disciples on the Emmaus road (Luke 24:32), so today, we need the Holy Spirit to assist us by opening the Scriptures to our understanding.
