Gospel and Plough Theological College, is a Christian
higher education community who nurtures and equips Christians with a
Biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church and the world. The
principal means we use to accomplish this mission are teaching, learning,
leading, and serving through undergraduate and graduate programs.
The goal of the college is to prepare servant leaders who know God's Word,
engage God's world, and pursue God's will in the world. Our priority as
faculty and staff is the education of our students as part of a lifelong
learning process. Educationally, the college identifies itself as a
Christian College committed to help students to know the Christ and make Him
known. All students take a common core of classes that builds a solid
foundation in Biblical studies.
As a Christian higher education community, we are committed to Christ and
His church, locally and globally. Our religious roots are in the Restoration
Movement, a unity movement of independent Christian churches and churches of
Christ committed to the authority of scripture. The faculties are valued as
teachers who do more than teach. Their education, expertise and experiences
are crucial components of the teaching and learning that occurs here, but
faculty also serve as role models, mentors, advisors, encouragers, and
partners in learning. It is their commitment to life long learning, to
scholarship, to creativity, to the discovery of new knowledge, and to
ongoing development that creates a vibrant learning community. This
community of teachers and learners strives to strengthen the learning
partnership in a variety of ways. We employ a variety of educational
strategies, both pedagogical and andragogical, to address the diversity of
our learners' ages and life experiences. We promote variety of settings and
opportunities for learning, both formal and informal, focusing on
individuals and on groups, located inside and outside the classroom,
occurring on-campus and around the world, and involving both scholarship and
service, academics and ministry. |
