The goal is the development of an informed and integrated Christian person who is equipped to participate responsibly in the life of the Church and of society. The courses in Religion are designed to give the student a working knowledge of the Bible, to acquaint him with the history, doctrines, and ethics of the Church, and to prepare him for effective service in Campus Pastor Manzlsager poses at the lecturn in chapel. the congregation.
