Waldensians affirm that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through a miraculous conception effected by the Holy Spirit, apart from any human father. This is held as an essential historical and theological claim about the identity and divine nature of Jesus.

The virgin birth is regarded as important for affirming both the full humanity of Christ (born of a woman) and his full divinity (his origin transcended ordinary human conception). It testifies to Christ's uniqueness and sinlessness as the incarnate Son of God. The virgin birth is understood as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, particularly Isaiah 7:14, and stands as a fundamental affirmation of Christian orthodoxy.

The Waldensian Confession and the broader Reformed tradition treat the virgin birth as an integral element of classical Christology. It is taught consistently in Waldensian churches and theological education and is regarded as a matter of biblical fidelity and doctrinal orthodoxy.
