AUHS STATEMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
Atlanta University of Health Science is a Christian-based institution of higher education that empowers, engages, trains, and educates productive, competent, and ethical professionals of successful careers in healthcare and business.
FAITH STATEMENT
• We believe that the Bible was inspired of God, hence free from error. It constitutes the only infallible guide in faith and practice.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• We believe that Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, is God come in the flesh.
• We believe that man, by disobeying God, is by nature sinful and can be saved by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
• We believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, voluntarily died to atone for our sins, rose from the dead in the same body, ascended bodily into heaven, and will come to earth again in the Second Advent.
• We believe that Satan exists as a malevolent being who acts as tempter and accuser, for whom Hell, the place of eternal punishment, was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity.
