Bullets

Faculty flourish when rooted in Christ and supported by Christian community. Spiritual formation and mutual encouragement sustain faithful presence in the university.

God & one another

God calls us to love everyone on campus students, staff, and colleagues. Faculty may see Christ through peers who teach, research, and serve with love, revealing the gospel through their lives.

Your campus

Academic work can reflect God’s creativity and truth. Loving one’s discipline invites rigorous scholarship pursued with integrity, curiosity, and redemptive purpose.

Your academic discipline

The university shapes culture and society. Faculty extend Christ’s love to the world by connecting their expertise to global needs and God’s mission.
