Department of Business

The mission of the Business Department is...

To enable men and women to fulfill their God-given calling with Christ-like character and professional competence.

We want our graduates to enter the workplace, and their communities, having achieved competencies which distinguish them, not only as exceptional professionals, but also excellent representatives of Jesus Christ.

We have a multi-dimensional liberal arts educational philosophy. This is implemented through the exploration of modem theories, concepts, and principles designed to develop our business students into critical thinkers who are able to identify problems, collect data, weigh alternatives, and identify solutions. Our business curriculum seeks to provide every business student with excellent knowledge and skills, and inculcate moral, ethical, and biblical values within the context of a world view that will equip them to assume positions of leadership, influence, and responsibility in the business community and church, both locally and globally. 

Our professors have a strong commitment to God's calling and have designed a curriculum that emphasizes academic achievement with real world application, reflecting a Christian worldview. Students are encouraged to exemplify godly character in their chosen career and to integrate their business practices with biblical truths, as well as demonstrate ethical and moral excellence. The professors see it as their role to not only teach business principles and knowledge, but to show a personal commitment to the education of each student academically and spiritually.
