Hopes for our Students

Present Everyone Perfect in Christ (Colossians 1:28)

As many of Paul's letters to the early church centered around his hopes of them as a young Christian body to aspire to all that God had in store for them, so too does the Student Life staff at Colorado Christian University aspire to have our students take a firm hold on what the Lord has planned for them while they are here in this Biblical living and learning community.

Hopes for our Students outlines the areas in which we desire students to move into and through while they are a part of our community here at CCU. From accepting themselves and others, growing in self confidence and competence, to forming solid relationships and striving for excellence, these Hopes are not only what we wish them to experience in their time here, but what we wish to exemplify to them as mentors as we journey alongside them in this crucial four-years of development. As students can fully embrace these tenants, we feel that the Lord can not only solidify a foundation that can withstand the trials of the world as they leave CCU, but as they grow stronger in these areas, He can use them to impact the world for His sake in mighty ways.

It is to these ends we as Student Life staff strive to...present everyone perfect in Christ.

Hopes for our Students

  • That they learn to accept themselves, discovering their gifts, and limitations as God has given to them, learn what makes them happy while learning that they don't have to do it all, or have it all, and that they experience joy in life and accept its many challenges and transitions.
  • That they strive for a growing self-confidence and competence in their abilities, spiritually, academically, and personally.
  • That they learn to develop a sense of fulfillment through doing their best, through enjoyment of the task at hand, and working with others to achieve goals.
  • That they further their understanding of a life that balances responsibilities to themselves, to God, and to others.
  • That they grow in their ability to form and sustain good relationships based on shared values, acceptance in others the gifts and limitations God has given them, and an overwhelming capacity to appreciate and have a heart for others.
  • That they develop a sense of wonder and love for life in all the richness that God has given them. That his sense of wonder fuels their curiosity in God's plan and makes them hunger to learn more about what God has in store for them through an increasing deep relationship with him.
  • That they grow and strive for excellence in their skills, and appreciation of knowledge through a variety of disciplines.
  • That they develop a sense of gratitude for what has been given to them by their family, by God, and by friends.
  • That they develop a sense of spiritual purpose and joy of serving others.
  • That they take responsibility for their own growth and learn to select role models and mentors whom can help strengthen them in their journey of Christian leadership.
