We believe in the freedom to explore and express faith.
We believe that all individuals have inherent worth as given to them from God.
We believe that Jesus Christ taught us to treat one another with grace, forgiveness, and most importantly love.
We believe in supporting an academic community where people from all faiths feel welcomed and accepted.
We believe, as an affiliate of the United Methodist Church, in the value of a cooperative relationship between the academy and the church, whereby both institutions respect and foster higher learning.
We believe that a life-changing faith is guided by the written Word, illumined by tradition, enlightened by personal experience, and confirmed by reason.
We are continually developing an academic community that is just and kind, and walks humbly with our God.
