Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to promote the cause of Christ by providing a distinctively
Christian-traditional, liberal arts education that develops students spiritually,
intellectually, morally, culturally, and socially.
Our purpose in both undergraduate and graduate programs is to produce
Christian leaders who are knowledgeable, articulate, moral, dedicated to excellence, and
committed to serving Jesus Christ as they learn to influence the world by applying biblical
principles in their chosen field and daily life.
