The society is entirely dependent on the efforts of its members who give time, expertise, enthusiasm, prayer and financial support.
Publications
Origins
is a twice-yearly A4 journal of 24+ pages, containing articles at both
technical and popular levels, news, reviews and other items. Non-members
of BCS may subscribe to the journal. Members receive the journal,
newsletters, papers and booklets. Many of the papers consider topics
of contemporary debate: originsand evolutionary theory, the environment,
creation in educational circles, society and life issues. Our most important
booklet is the Creation
Manifesto: a distillation of what
we think the Bible does teach about origins. Newsletters are normally
enclosed with the journal and other mailings to members.
Audio-Visual Materials
The Society has a collection of video recordings,
slide sets, slide strips, and audio-cassette recordings: all of which
are available for loan (details on request).
Meetings and Conferences
BCS speakers are available to address meetings
at churches, Christian Unions, Young People's meetings etc. Links with
local churches are promoted by BCS Church Representatives. Links with
Europe are maintained through the European Creation Congress.

The doctrinal basis of the Biblical Creation Society shall be the fundamental truths of Christianity, as revealed in Holy Scripture, including:
a. The unity of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
b. The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption
and the final judgement.
c. The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture
as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith
and conduct.
d. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the
fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
e. The full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son
of God; his virgin birth and his real and sinless humanity; his death
on the cross, his bodily resurrection and his present reign in heaven
and earth.
f. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through
the sacrificial death once and for all time of our representative and
substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man.
g. Justification as God's act of undeserved mercy, in which the
sinner is pardoned all his sins, and accepted as righteous in God's
sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to him, this
justification being received by faith alone.
h. The need for the Holy Spirit to make the work of Christ effective
to the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith
in Jesus Christ.
i. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all those thus regenerated,
producing in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and
behaviour, and empowering them for their witness in the world.
j. The one holy universal Church, which is the Body of Christ,
and to which all true believers belong.
k. The future personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will
judge all men, executing God's just condemnation on the impenitent and
receiving the redeemed to eternal glory.
