Ecumenical University

Ecumenical University is a Christian academic community in the tradition of evangelical institutions of higher education. As such, Ecumenical continues the philosophy of education that first gave rise to the university and is summarized in the following propositions.

God, the infinite source of all things, has shown us truth through scripture, nature, history, and above all, in Christ.

Persons are spiritual, rational, moral, social, and physical, created in God’s image. They are, therefore, able to know and value themselves, other people, the universe, and God.

Education, as the process of teaching and learning, involves the whole person by developing the knowledge, values, and skills that enable each individual to change freely. Thus it occurs most effectively when both instructor and student are properly related to God and each other through Christ.
