Jeremy M. Porier

Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems

CCU’s faculty is truly unique in their ability to weave the truths of our faith and scripture into their respective areas of expertise. Many people wonder how the principles of our faith could inform a subject like computer programming, but when you think about it writing code is a way of creating something out of nothing and then attempting to refine it, to “work out the bugs”. That is remarkably similar to what God has done and continues to do with us.

Ron Rex

Executive in Residence; Associate Professor of Management and Marketing

Most of today's business principles and leadership concepts are direct descendants of words of wisdom found in the Bible. In the secular world, many of the same principles are taught but the proper "footnotes" have been forgotten. Inside the classroom it is important to emphasize how the Bible is a good handbook, not only for how we live our personal lives, but also how we conduct our business careers and affairs.

Michael Saunders

Assistant Professor of Marketing

I always look for ways to integrate biblical learning in the classroom. Also, I began an interesting activity for my students called Video Bible Action Quotes which is sent every four days or so. It is a short verse and encouraging thought for the day with an action step that they can work on during that day. I get great feedback from it.
