Values
Faith
One’s belief in Christ and the Scriptures has a positive impact on the ability to promote health and render healing services. Faith is an individual perspective that should be continually explored and refined by students and faculty.
Professionalism
The educational process should acquaint students with and prepare them to demonstrate an appreciation of building a knowledge base, self-regulation of practice, autonomy, independent judgment, and image that contributes to effectiveness.
Service Leadership
A dynamic and complimentary combination of the attributes of service (i.e., assistance to others in accomplishing their goals, and work for others that may represent self-sacrifice) and leadership (i.e., assessment, envisioning and implementing improved options, and influencing others) is necessary for sustained contributions to the well-being of individuals and populations.
