宗旨声明

Hardin-Simmons大学, 附属于德州浸信会总会的与教会有关的机构;

  1. Fosters the intellectual development of students by providing an academically challenging undergraduate education based upon a liberal arts foundation and advances scholarly growth by offering specialized graduate and professional degree programs.
  2. Academic excellence continues as a priority at Hardin-Simmons大学 as it has for more than a century. The core curriculum involves students in a broad range of inquiry relating general studies with requirements of the chosen major. Graduate programs broaden the scope of learning in scientific and professional disciplines and encourage students to regard learning as a lifelong process. Small classes taught by experienced scholars give the opportunity for interactive learning. The institution’s commitment to excellence is best illustrated through the lives of graduates who traditionally have excelled in a wide variety of fields.
  3. Affirms the relevance and importance of the Christian faith for life in the contemporary world by maintaining a clear identification with and loyalty to the Christian faith and functioning within the context of historic Baptist values and principles.
  4. 由一群意志坚定的牧师于1891年创建, 农场主, 和商人, Hardin- Simmons University established dual goals of developing the mind and nurturing the 精神上的 life of its students. 鼓励信仰和知识增长的承诺仍然是核心. 相信学术卓越和基督教信仰是互补的, 这所大学强调信仰与理性相互作用的必要性.
  5. Encourages individuals to lead lives of service through active involvement in intellectual, 文化, 以及宗教生活, 无论是在校园里,还是在阿比林更大的社区和世界上.

虽然传统上是西方的, 这所大学为其学生的国际化而感到自豪, 教师, 和工作人员, 并鼓励国际视野的发展. 通过其在提供智力方面的领导地位, 精神上的, 文化, 还有社会机会, the university serves as catalyst for the advancement and enrichment of its students and the community. (1992年9月16日,董事会批准)

信仰声明

HSU董事会于2022年11月3日通过

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大学. 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.

这份信仰宣言指导着治理的各个方面, 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, 是谁替我们死,又从死里复活,升到天上呢. 基督的再来将完成神的救赎使命. 耶稣基督是神与人之间唯一的中保.

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

我们相信圣经是神所启示的生活和信仰的权威. 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. 人类违背了上帝,在撒旦的诱惑下从无罪的状态堕落了. 因为所有人都有罪, 他们与神分离,需要拯救和救赎. 因为神的大爱,神为人类提供了一条与他和好之路. 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.

婚姻

我们相信上帝所建立的婚姻是一生的, 一个遗传的男性和一个遗传的女性之间的契约关系. 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.

为什么校董会要写一份信仰声明?
The members of the 校董会 are stewards of the vision and mission of the university, responsible for governing by setting policy and providing direction to the President to follow in leading the organization.  We believe that a clearly defined statement of faith provides an essential point of reference for the fulfillment of these responsibilities.

为什么要有信仰宣言?
Hardin-Simmons大学’s 信仰声明 clearly states the Christian beliefs that undergird and inform the university’s vision and mission, and highlights the principles that define what we envision in providing “excellence in education enlightened by Christian faith and values.”

The 信仰声明 provides guidance to the university’s administrative leaders as they make decisions that impact every aspect of the institution. It also offers inspiration and a foundational point of reference to our 教师 as they educate students and develop the next generation of leaders, 也感谢我们提供学习平台的员工.

为什么现在出版《线上博彩网址》?
As the nation’s 文化 context changes in ways that with increasing frequency conflict with historic Christian teaching, we believe it is important that we expressly proclaim our beliefs earnestly and transparently as a university committed to providing excellence in education enlightened by Christian faith and values, 这也是我们从建校以来的宗旨.
