Core values
What drives us
Our values start with Jesus, who is both the foundation of our work on campus and the message we preach. We want our actions to reflect His character, because the campus is where future leaders are formed. We believe the local church is how disciples multiply, and we work together, sharing what each church does well, with humility and unity.
- 01
Jesus is our message.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.Romans 1:16 · NIV
With Scripture as our foundation, we proclaim the gospel boldly and seek to show people Jesus in all that we do.
Our message drives our presence and proclamation.
- 02
The character of Christ is our aim.
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.2 Corinthians 3:18 · NIV
We want to know Him, live like Him and teach others to do the same, staying connected to Jesus as He shapes us into His image.
Our aim drives our discipleship and leadership development.
- 03
The campus is our mission field.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Matthew 28:18–20 · NIV
College is where future workers, leaders, parents and citizens form their convictions. We send graduates out to live on mission at work, at home and in their local church.
Our mission field drives our strategy.
- 04
The local church is our center for multiplication.
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.2 Timothy 2:2 · NIV
Through the local church, disciples make disciples, leaders develop leaders and churches plant churches, from one campus to the next.
Our center for mission drives our multiplication.
- 05
Collaboration is our way forward.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.Philippians 2:3–4 · NIV
Our churches share their time, people and money with each other to make disciples and plant churches in college towns.
Our way drives our humility and unity.
