The International Church of Christ affirms the straightforward reading of Genesis 1:1-2 that God created all things. The passage establishes God's creative sovereignty and absolute authority. The ICC receives Genesis as divine revelation without requiring harmony with evolutionary theories. The focus is on theological truth—God is the creator and sustainer of all—rather than on scientific mechanism.

Creation theology grounds the ICC's understanding of God's lordship, human responsibility, and stewardship. All creation belongs to God; humans are created in God's image and are accountable to him. This foundation supports the church's call to discipleship and moral living.
