To aid the student in solving the problems of life in the light of God’s Word and to assist him in developing a strong Christian character by precept, example, counsel, and Christian discipline. 3. To guide the ministerial student in laying the foundation for the future professional study of theology. 4. To equip the non-ministerial student for intelligent lay-leadership. 5. To have all students acquire a reasonable knowledge of the history of the church and of the distinctive doctrines of the churches of Christendom. “Stir up the gift of God which is in thee .”—2 Tim. 1:16. 20
