Georgia Central University emphasizes and believes in the Triune God: eternal, transcendent, omnipotent, and personal. God the Father, the first person of the Divine Trinity, is infinite, sovereign, and unchangeable in all his attributes. GCU believes in the sinless humanity and the absolute, full deity of Christ Jesus, indissolubly united in one divine-human person since his unique incarnation by miraculous conception and virgin birth. Holy Spirit, the Third person of trinity resides among us always.
GCU believes that the Bible is the Word of God, and as such, it is our only infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit; thus, we affirm the inerrancy of the original manuscripts whose objective truth is our responsibility to interpret in accordance with the principles of Scriptures and to proclaim in accordance with the imperatives of the Gospel.
GCU emphasizes and believes that the universe is God's creation and his handiwork. We believe that God created human beings in His own image.
