Greetings - At St. Thomas Christian College,
you will discover an academic experience that is distinctive
in today’s world of higher education. We take seriously the wisdom
found in Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge." As a result, you will find a carefully crafted
curriculum that integrates faith with learning. We believe the Holy
Scriptures to be ultimate and timeless truth, "God-breathed and
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness" (II Timothy 3:16). These same scriptures can be
central in knowing how to THINK differently as well as act
differently. One often begets the other. Our world desperately
needs fresh thinking and acting to resolve some of the most
staggering problems ever encountered. Perhaps you are longing to
invest your life in ways that make a lasting difference in your
community and world. In fact, we believe God has wired us to do
just that. As Dallas Willard says, "Unlike egoism, the drive to
significance is a simple extension of the creative impulse of God
that gave us being...We were built to count, as water is made to
run downhill. We are placed in a specific context to count in ways
no one else does. That’s your destiny. Our hunger for significance
is a signal of who we are and why we are here." Our faculty, and
staff are committed to assist every student in discovering their
God-given call. We believe God has called us all to be on
assignment and I welcome you to the journey!
Bishop Reginald W. Atkins, DD
