GOOD TREE GOOD FRUIT
OMNIS ARBOR BONA FRUCTUS BONOS FACIT
Every good tree bears good fruit. This is the principle of our philosophy. All people are created equal, with fundamental duties and rights, including social-economic duties and rights to pursue happiness. At 91影视 University of Virginia, we are committed to help our students bear good fruit in life and contribute to the community.聽
Mission
To develop men and women of character and leadership by inculcating quality Christian education through healthy institutional services so that they may make meaningful contributions to the world
Formation of Character
This is the ultimate goal of our education. Bearing of good fruit is tied to the state of the tree. Likewise, the measure of one鈥檚 success must also accompany the measure of one鈥檚 character. The formation of character, therefore, is our foremost important educational aim that we must strive to achieve.
Statement of Faith
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe the Bible to be inspired, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and fell, and that, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and by whom the church is empowered to carry out Christ鈥檚 great commission.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Philosophy of Education
Inasmuch as God鈥檚 Word is the standard by which all things are measured, 91影视 affirms the following philosophy of education:
- The principle that all truth is God鈥檚 truth will be applied appropriately in each course.
- It is the responsibility of the instructor to encourage the student to learn, and the student must be an active and sincere participant in the educational process.
- God requires and graciously enables each believer to learn and apply His Word as the student submits to the Holy Spirit. Therefore, instructors should expect the best from each student.
- The Scriptures are given to completely equip the believer for every good work; therefore, it is the responsibility of the instructor to go beyond the communication of biblical truth and to apply it to the student鈥檚 life.
- The instructor takes the responsibility to encourage the student to master the irreducible minimum of the course contents.
- It is the instructor鈥檚 responsibility to build the need for the course material before delivering the content in order to motivate students for service.
- Since the purpose of biblical education is to glorify God and to serve others, it is the responsibility of the instructor to equip students for service.
- Christian education is intended to impact the whole person. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the instructor to encourage the student鈥檚 ongoing spiritual growth.
Educational Objectives

- Help students build a solid foundation of general knowledge, such as humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, for broader understanding of life; and motivate students in critical thinking behavior to develop investigational skills for the apologetic defense and promulgation of one鈥檚 faith in a pluralistic society.
- Prepare students to engage in the business world with clear Christian conduct and values to become living testimonies of the Christian truths.
- Equip students for Christian leadership through mentoring programs with the local church pastors, alumni, and faculty members in order to make a positive impact in diverse ministries.
