Christ Centered
We believe God is the foundation of all wisdom and knowledge. Through
Christ we find merciful forgiveness and an invitation to a daily,
personal walk empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are led by Christ
in our search for truth.
- I Corinthians 3:11, II Corinthians 5:17,
Ephesians 3:17-20 -
Passionate Learners
We believe our faith is supported by knowledge. As a learning
community, we foster a journey of lifelong learning, encouraging one
another to seek truth with fervor. This spirit of academic
excellence enriches our relationships, our world, and our faith in
Jesus Christ.
- II Peter 1:5-8, 1
Corinthians. 14:15 -
Servant Leaders
We believe that servant leadership is reflected perfectly in the life
and person of Jesus’ Christ. We humbly defer self-interest to the
interests of others, because love for others builds up God’s community.
By following Christ’s example, we create a culture characterized by
joyful service.
- Philippians 2:5-7, Matthew
20:26-28 -
Compassionate Peacemakers
As Christian peacemakers, we embrace “shalom” – the peace that God
intends for humanity. We commit to the “peaceable kingdom” by
practicing loving kindness, restoring justice, opposing racism, loving
enemies, and advocating for the dispossessed. We renounce oppressive,
violent destructive powers of this world –and are willing to live as
examples of God’s peace.
- Matthew 5:9 -
Global Citizens
As responsible global citizens, we see, encourage and celebrate the
image of God in others. We welcome and include the “stranger” in our
midst -- respecting differences in worldviews while seeking common
ground. We wish to transcend barriers between people through teaching,
learning, and cross-cultural exchanges. We offer our lives in service
to others.
- 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
