For Theology and Life

To Renew a Biblically Rigorous, Academically Credible, and Contemporarily Compelling Evangelical Mind, Heart, and Life

In an age when the foundations of biblical truth are often questioned or ignored, the next generation faces an uphill climb. On college campuses and in academic circles, the authority of Scripture is undermined, orthodox belief is sidelined, and students are left without a firm anchor. Research shows that nearly 70% of students who begin college as professing Christians leave with little or no faith after graduation.

We believe that God calls us to a different story—a story where the mind, heart, and life are shaped by His Word, strengthened by His truth, and compelled by His glory. That’s why we’ve launched The Center for Theology and Life—to renew a biblically rigorous, academically credible, and contemporarily compelling evangelical vision for today’s world.

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."

Romans 12:2 NLT

Philosophy of Ministry

  1. The truth of the Bible, the gospel, and God is credible to human minds.

  2. Such credibility is grasped through “faith seeking understanding.”

  3. Humans believe what they believe for complicated reasons—not only the rational.

  4. The gospel of Jesus Christ holds truth together in a profound way.

  5. While God’s truth may be apprehended, God Himself is not fully comprehensible by finite minds.

  6. We constantly need reformation of our thinking and revival of our hearts.

  7. All thinking and all living is for the glory of God.
