Under the authority of the Scriptures, it seeks to fulfill its commitment to ministry education, preparation, and spiritual formation. Central Christian strives for excellence in all its ministries in the service of Jesus Christ under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. From its inception, Central Christian has promoted the local church as the mechanism through which people of like faith develop a sound foundation in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Central Christian is an extension of the church and a partner in the mission of preparing individuals to be responsive leaders and servants of God.

Central Christian embraces a mission of..."being an ever-expanding and vital educational vehicle for use by God to work in the lives of people as they serve and contribute to others."

Simply, our intent is to prepare individuals to be responsive to the call of God on their lives. We will achieve that mission by aggressively delivering high quality educational materials and sound Biblical training to our students. We will work hand in hand with church leadership to promote the goals and vision of the local church.

Founded on the principles of faith, Central Christian University affirms:

That the Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, infallible, and revealed Word of God and the only authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept. 

That God has revealed himself to be the living and true God, perfect in love and righteous in all His ways.

That God, who discloses himself through His creation, has spoken in the words and events of redemptive history.  This history is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word, who is made known to us by the Holy Spirit in sacred Scripture.

That scripture is an essential and trustworthy record of this divine self-disclosure.  All the books of the Old and New Testament, given by divine inspiration, are the written word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.  They are to be interpreted according to their content and purpose and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through them in living power. 

That man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin, is lost and powerless to save himself.

That the only hope for man is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who died to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of mankind, and who rose from the dead so that, by receiving Him as Savior and Lord, man is redeemed by His blood.

That by the sinless life of our Lord Jesus Christ, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His bodily ascension into heaven, and His return to this earth, He is Lord over all things.

That the Holy Spirit reveals the truth of God's Word, endues men and women with power to minister and enables them to live righteous and holy lives. 

That the Church is the Body of Christ and is comprised of all those who through belief in Christ have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit and that the mission of the church is worldwide evangelization and the nurturing and discipling of Christians.

Our intent is to prepare individuals to be responsive to the call of God on their lives.  We will achieve that mission by aggressively delivering high quality educational materials and sound Biblical training to our students.  We will work hand in hand with church leadership to promote the goals and vision of the local church.
