The priority of Scripture as the inerrant and authoritative written Word of God that guides us in all matters of faith, learning, and living. 3. The pursuit of Wisdom as an objective, attainable reality grounded in the person and example of Jesus Christ and anchored in the Bible. 4. The practice of Truth as the goal for all members of the university community, who work to promote healing and wholeness in a broken culture and hurting world.
