| Statement of Diversity |
| |
Calvary Chapel Teachers College believes that an individual’s first responsibility is to the God
of the Bible and that a person’s whole life should reflect His framework in a context of peace
and selfless love. The College asserts that a genuine love for and interaction with diverse peoples
is a biblical mandate. Moreover, Calvary Chapel Teachers College recognizes that current definitions
of diversity differ widely. Our standard for diversity is found in the Bible. Individual differences
in lifestyle that deny, ignore or reject biblical standards represent diversity in rebellion to God’s
standards and hence, are unacceptable to the College. Recognizing the diverse nature of the body of
Christ and its shared commitment to intellectual values, and our Lord’s commission to make disciples
of all peoples, we are committed to diversity in the following ways:
- By building a community of trust among the different ethnic and cultural groups represented
in our students and faculty, predicated upon respect for differences, with the purpose of focusing
on the culturally-transcendent scriptural admonitions laid out by Paul in Colossians 3:11-15.
- By extending the resources of the College to Christians from various backgrounds, for the
work spelled out in Ephesians 4:12.
- By assuming a leadership role in extending knowledge accessibility to the multiethnic Christian
Community throughout the United States and from foreign countries; by fostering comprehension and
acceptance of people of differing viewpoints.
- By including contributions coming from members of diverse populations within the educational
process.
