I N A G R E A T C I T Y&FAITH REASON
“Our confession that ‘Jesus Christ is Lord’ is the foundation of the Ten Pillars, individually and collectively. That isn’t just a pious devotional statement; it is an affirmation that everything we do under the umbrella of academics, student life, facilities, and infrastructure—everything—should be governed by the mind and mission of God.
The Ten Pillars vision is our effort to live out a Christian worldview within our context.
Our role as a Christian university is to equip people to be better tentmakers, whether they are nurses, musicians, accountants, or filmmakers. We will train students to be highly competent at their craft, but we must do more than that. We will help them develop a biblical worldview that aligns them with God’s mission to reclaim every area of life for His kingdom and His glory.”
Dr. Robert B. Sloan, Jr. President, HBU
