“When I saw the statistics of Richmont students excelling in the field and passed the National Counselor Examination with flying colors, I knew Richmont was where I wanted to pursue my graduate degree. Truthfully, I had no idea how I was going to finance my next few years of courses, but once I got to Richmont I had such a peace that it was where the Lord wanted me. Richmont is truly the hidden gem of the South.” Kellie Kent, 2014 graduate

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whom the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe God’s redemptive purpose will be consummated by the return of Christ to raise the dead, judge all people and establish His glorious kingdom.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
