About the Office of Christian Development:
Office of Christian Development exists to illumine and undergird
every quest for truth at Mississippi College. The God who gave
us reason and keeps faith with the orders of creation calls us
to respect
the integrity of every way of knowing. Not every way of knowing
must bear the label “Christian” –as in Christian chemistry,
or Christian musicology, or Christian linguistics. In the Christian
university, the word Christian is not a limiting label but the starting
point, the end point, and the guiding inspiration all along the way.
The words of David in Psalm 36 express the guiding inspiration of
Mississippi College: “For with you is the fountain of
life; in your light we see light.”
It is the goal of Christian Development at Mississippi College to
illumine our obligation to seek and to serve veritas et virtus. The
manner in which the truth of Jesus Christ is followed and the virtue
of Christian character is developed are of primary concern. We seek
to fulfill our calling by:
- Providing opportunities for students, staff, faculty, and other
constituents of Mississippi College to grow in their understanding
of and adherence to the teachings of Christ Jesus.
