SBC is repainting but not repenting

In his book Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton wrote, “If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again.”

This is relevant to the work of staying faithful to the good news handed over by Jesus to his apostles, and it’s why confessions of faith need revising at least once a generation.

The Steinbach Bible College (SBC) board asked the faculty to review our college’s 1966 Statement of Faith and rewrite the wording based on what our four supporting conferences saw as the core of our testimony together. We consulted with conference leaders and gave careful thought to each of the convictions in the Statement. What words would express the ancient and hopeful news we have been called to proclaim in this hour?

We wanted to repaint but not repent of our convictions. Read over our core convictions in our new Statement of Faith at sbcollege.ca/what-we-believe.
