Mission and Core Values

Our Mission

The mission of Kuyper College is “to equip students with a biblical, Reformed worldview to serve effectively Christ’s church and his world.” It is the same mission that our Lord entrusts to us in Matthew 28:19–20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Core Values

• Primacy of Scripture
  We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and must guide our teaching, philosophy, lifestyle, and response to our ministry or vocational calling.
• Biblical Worldview
  We believe history is directed and controlled by God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—toward the accomplishment of God's purposes for all creation. Education at Kuyper College is conducted within the framework of a biblical worldview from which students can assimilate, synthesize, and respond to situations of life and learning.
• Reformed Doctrine
  We understand and apply our faith and worldview according to the teachings of the Bible as summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, the Belgic Confession, and the Westminster Standards.
• Academic Excellence
  We emphasize the importance of cultivating the mind by providing quality, Christian higher education.
• Holistic Development
  We strive to form world-class citizens who are academically, spiritually, socially, and morally discerning, just, and merciful leaders in church and society.

Caring and Diverse Community

We actively work toward a campus environment that is ethnically and denominationally diverse in nature, where mentoring, mutual care, accountability, and encouragement are characteristic of students, faculty, and staff.
