核心价值观
Certain 值 have been at the core of Criswell College throughout its history, driving not only what we do but why we do it. The emphases and applications have adapted as culture has changed, but they have always provided a baseline for the College’s mission.
教义的完整性
The Christian faith is defined by Scripture, so our commitment to doctrinal integrity is grounded in our affirmation of Scripture’s inerrancy. Every other doctrinal position as expressed in our 信仰条款 is rooted in this conviction.
服务经验
Christianity entails emulating a Savior who descended to serve people—some who were already faithful, 有些人成为了门徒, and even those who were His enemies. We understand that service means seeing, 尊重, and understanding the needs of people often overlooked, in addition to those we are already inclined to serve. We are committed to reaching others with the good news and love of Jesus Christ.
学术交流
Christian education integrates challenging intellectual interaction with exposure to demonstrable expertise in an environment that is tailored to produce lifelong learners. We value the key ingredients of an exemplary academic environment, 包括优秀教师, 教育最佳实践, and a supportive network committed to student success.
文化的影响
Christians are called to testify to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and embody the reality and goodness of the Kingdom of God. Our hope for the transformation of the world ultimately depends on the return of Christ, and we are committed to testifying to that hope by engaging culture rather than running from or warring against it. We value Christian leadership that shapes the ideas and ideals of society through eng年龄ment both in and beyond the church.
