Dear Prospective Student,
In 1987, I enrolled as a student at Columbia International University. CIU
attracted me because of the university’s heart for reaching the nations
with the message of Jesus Christ.
During my student years, I learned about CIU’s five core values: the
Authority of Scripture, World Evangelization, Prayer & Faith, Victorious
Christian Living and Evangelical Unity. These core values represent the
DNA of CIU. They shape and define us by giving us purpose and passion.
I’ve never forgotten my student years here at CIU!
Today, as in 1987, CIU continues its mission of training professional minis-
ters and ministering professionals to impact the world with the message of
Christ. Your program of study is designed to equip you not only for your
professional calling, but also equips you to share Christ anytime, any-
where.
Your education at CIU will transform you spiritually, physically, mentally and
emotionally. You will gain new friends and experience new encounters with
God.
I invite you to come and spend time on our campus. Visit with our stu-
dents, talk to our faculty, see our passion and experience what it’s like to
really know Him and make Him known.
