Mission

ÃÛÌÒÇι«Ö÷is a Christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

Vision

ÃÛÌÒÇι«Ö÷University will be a preeminent, global, Christian university, known for the integration of faith and learning, whose graduates lead purposeful lives as servant-minded leaders throughout the world.

Our vision statement declares what we intend to become. George ÃÛÌÒÇι«Ö÷envisioned an institution that would transform students' lives so that they would, in turn, impact culture. He imagined a vast body of alumni—men and women conscious of their good fortune, recipients of the generous gift of a Christian education—who would feel the moral imperative to serve others sacrificially. Hence, the school's motto: "Freely ye received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8).

Affirmation Statement

As a Christian university ÃÛÌÒÇι«Ö÷affirms:

  • That God is
  • That God is revealed uniquely in Christ
  • That the educational process may not, with impunity, be divorced from the divine process
  • That the student, as a person of infinite dignity, is the heart of the educational enterprise
  • That the quality of student life is a valid concern of the University
  • That truth, having nothing to fear from investigation, should be pursued relentlessly in every discipline
  • That spiritual commitment, tolerating no excuse for mediocrity, demands the highest standards of academic excellence
  • That freedom, whether spiritual, intellectual, or economic, is indivisible
  • That knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.
