“For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun!
Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
ISAIAH 43:19

Strategic Plan
A strategic plan serves as a map, charting the course for how we will move from where we are today to where we believe God wants us to be in the future. It doesn’t encompass everything we do as an institution; rather, it highlights our high-level priorities and goals. While the how and the what are essential, it is our why that inspires us to engage in this important work each day.
Why do we do what we do? To change the world! We believe the most effective way to change the world is by equipping and sending transformational leaders into it. World changers don’t just talk to God; they talk to God about the world and strive to make their lives an answer to its needs. We are confident that our graduates are prepared to address the pressing questions of our time.
It is my sincere privilege to serve as the president of this unapologetically Christ-centered academic community. With great hope and optimism, I look forward to the future. As we continue to follow God’s leading, we will gain momentum for the years ahead and become the Christ-centered institution of choice for every generation—all to the glory of God!
