Message from the President.

I am delighted that you have chosen to apply to international Christian University. I read a statement the other day that indicated, "we are not called to bring the world to Christ, but to bring Christ to the world", I was impacted greatly by this statement, and the purpose of this university is to equip men and women with the knowledge to impact this world with the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Christian education is very important. It is basically knowing the Bible, the theology of God and His ministry, and the role of the Holy Spirit. This aspect never ceases because God continues to reveal himself in fresh ways. There are advantages of being in Bible college, and it is the fact that the graduates are more mature and experienced, the time spent pursuing their education not only enables them to grow in knowledge and wisdom but in maturity and also it enables them to delve more deeply into God's word and the study of theology.

International Christian University is committed to serving Christ and His churches worldwide at an affordable price. The university is set up for Sunday school teachers. pastors, evangelists, or anyone who wants to learn more.

Thank you for considering ICU. God richly blesses you as you study His word.

May God richly bless you in His abundant love,
