Lifestyle Expectations

As an institution of evangelical Christians, we believe that our faith in Christ is a living faith that bears visible fruit as, through God's grace and empowering, we gradually grow in likeness to Jesus. As Paul urged the Ephesians, we also urge one another "to live a life worthy of the calling you have received" (Eph 4:1).

As an educational institution, we believe that our students learn important lessons about spirituality, character, integrity, and morality by observing within the institution the Christ-like values lived out by respected role models.

As a result, our institutional mission is fulfilled in part as members of the CCU community -- students, faculty, staff, administrators -- consciously seek a lifestyle that is both pleasing to Christ and exemplary to those who may be observing. To foster fulfillment of this aspect of our mission, we define guidelines for the behavior and conduct that are expected of those who choose to be part of our community.
