The mission of Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary is to teach men and women to live by biblical principles and to equip and empower them with character, skills, insight, and vision to lead the church and impact society for Christ.
Cincinnati Christian University (formerly known as Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, is one of the oldest and largest schools in the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. CCU was established in 1924 and has served the Cincinnati area for over 80 years. Its mission is to teach men and women to live by biblical principles and to equip and empower them with character, skills, insight, and vision to lead the church and impact society for Christ.
In the fall of 2004, President David Faust unveiled the new CCU name and logo. The festivities were titled "Lighting the Hill" which represented a renewed commitment to being a light to the Price Hill community and the city of Cincinnati. However, Cincinnati Christian University not only wants to be a light in the community but to light the hill of Calvary—lighting the way for men and women of all ethnic groups to obtain a degree of higher education in a Christian environment in their preparation to light the world for Christ.
The University is made up of three schools: Cincinnati Bible College (traditional undergraduate), Cincinnati Bible Seminary (traditional graduate), and the College of Adult and Lifetime Learning, or CALL (adult education).
CCU is currently taking part in a capital campaign to, among other things, fund several new building projects on campus.
