Vision: To be a Christian university nationally recognized for the integration of faith in learning leading and serving

• Learning:2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
• Leading:Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do whether in word or deed do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him.
• Serving:Ephesians 2:10 For we are Gods workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Biblical Core Values
Scripture
II Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness. The Bible is the inerrant and infallible record of Gods revelation to humanity and it is the only sufficient source of appeal on matters relating to the Christian faith.

God
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. There is one and only one living true God. The historical account of Genesis decrees that He is the personal and direct Creator of all that exists including the first human beings Adam and Eve. To Him we owe the highest love reverence and obedience.

Jesus Christ
John 14:6 Jesus said unto them I am the way the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me. God made provision through Christ for the redemption of sinful humanity by His substitutionary atonement on the cross and He alone is sufficient as Savior.

Salvation
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Salvation involves Gods gracious redemption of individuals and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior by repentance and faith.

Life of the Believer
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Christians are to be consistent with Scripture in their character and conduct.

Diversity

Genesis 1:27God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Because all people are made in Gods divine image they possess full dignity and are worthy of respect. Matthew 22:39 You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus command for us to love others as ourselves extends to all people. Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked and behold a great multitude which no one could number all nations tribes peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb . . . Charleston Southern University defines diversity as people groups varying in ethnic makeup cultural background age language educational and professional experience ability veteran and/or socioeconomic status. Our commitment to diversity is biblically informed; therefore the university engages and supports diversity relatedmatters as they are clearly defined in Scripture.

Human Sexuality

Matthew 19:45 . . . God . . . made them at the beginning male and female and said For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. Sexuality is one of the ways the marriage covenant between a husband and a wife is sealed and expressed. Marriage is Gods unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards and the means for the procreation of the human race. All forms of sexual intimacy that occur outside the covenant of heterosexual marriage even when consensual are distortions of the holiness and beauty God intended for it. The promotion or practice of a homosexual lifestyle (including samesex dating behaviors) is also contrary to the universitys core values. The promotion of transgenderism fails to uphold the universitys core values.

Education:

Deuteronomy 6:67a . . . these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children . . . Matthew 28:1920 . . . make disciples of all the nations . . . teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you . . . Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence . . . All sound learning is therefore a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge. Moreover the cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ is coordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches. An adequate system of Christian education is necessary to a complete spiritual program for Christs people.

Evangelism and Missions
Acts 1:8But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. It is the privilege and duty of every Christian to share the Gospel of Christ personally and by all other methods in harmony with the Gospel.
