核心价值观
核心价值观 of Howard Payne University
通过圣经, 神默示的话语, followers of Christ receive instruction in how He has called us to live for His glory. The expectation is that each Believer’s worldview is shaped by Scripture, influencing the manner in which Christians perceive and understand the world around them. 除了, the call to put into practice the Biblical teachings is not limited only to the lives of individuals; rather, Scripture should also be the foundation upon which the mission, 愿景, and practices of Howard Payne University are built.
The five core values presented below are based on God’s Word. 因此, the hope is that each one should reflect how every Howard Payne University employee views their vocational calling and performs the duties and responsibilities entailed by their role, but also in the daily activities of each University department, 部门, 和大学作为一个机构.
We believe and affirm that the University as an institution and each individual called to serve the Lord at Howard Payne should strive to demonstrate a commitment to these five core values:
1)以ebet真人娱乐厅. Col. 3:17,马特. 7:24
2)关注社区- cf. 弗. 彼前4:4-6. 3:8
3)召唤服务- cf. 马可福音10:45，菲尔. 2:3-5
4)追求卓越- cf. 创. 林前1:31. 9:24
5)致力于管理- cf. 创. 彼前2:15. 4:10
Seeking to eng年龄 the life of the mind and the life of the Spirit, Howard Payne University affirms that:
- God is the loving creator of all things and the author of all truth;
- Because God is the author of all truth, open inquiry is an act of intellect and of faith and is to be wholly embraced;
- Because open inquiry is an act of intellect and of faith, such efforts must proceed from rigorous academic standards and genuine commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord;
- For open inquiry to contain rigorous academic standards and genuine Christian commitment, there must be at all times a supportive learning environment that affirms human dignity for all as created in the im年龄 of God; and
- Committing oneself to the teachings of Jesus will result in Christ-centered, God-honoring and humanity-serving life choices characterized by honesty, 完整性, healthy lifestyles and personal responsibility.
Undergirding and inextricably intertwined in the core values of the university is the affirmation of traditional Christian and Baptist beliefs.
- The Bible is the divinely inspired record of God’s revelation of Himself to humanity. Holy Scripture has God for its author, salvation for its end and truth without any mixture of error for its content. The Bible is the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct should be evaluated.
