Happy 100th Anniversary!Ìý ×ÔοÊÓƵ's first class was held October 1, 1923!
As we enter 2023, I'm so thankful for you!
As I serve as your Acting President, my prayer is that God will:
- Guard my mind
- Guide my path
- Grant me wisdom
Let us pray this together as we look forward to the year ahead!

We will stay mission-focused on developing ×ÔοÊÓƵ's strategic plan, growing enrollment and strengthening our financial position for today and for the future.Ìý Ìý
The theme for our 22-23 academic year is "Making Him Known," focusing on the latter half of ×ÔοÊÓƵ's motto. November's Global Mission Conference, sponsored by CICS, emphasized that theme and launched ×ÔοÊÓƵ's year-long centennial celebration.
This calendar year we will build on that theme and continue the 100th-anniversary celebration!
