The Purpose of Abilene Christian University
The purpose of Abilene Christian University
is to educate its students
for Christian service throughout the world.
Abilene Christian University emphasizes a curriculum of liberal studies, exalts the Bible
as the Word of God, and strives for Christian values in contemporary life. The board of
trustees, administration, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of the university are
committed to maintaining a community of work and learning distinguished by Christian
character, the pursuit of the tasks of scholarship, and appreciation of cultural and
aesthetic values. All members of the academic community are expected to share
responsibility in achieving these objectives:
Christian character: striving to be Christ-governed individuals;
Academic responsibility: accepting the implications of one's relationship to the
university and acting honestly and capably;
Service to the church and the community: recognizing opportunities to serve and
provide leaders for church and community;
Christian environment: developing opportunities for enduring friendships and the
preparing of young men and women for their future roles as builders of Christian
homes;
Interest in the challenges of the world: acknowledging scientific, political, economic,
social, aesthetic, and religious issues;
Foundations for the future: providing for further spiritual, intellectual, and professional
or vocational growth.
