Do You Have to Be a Christian to Attend 狼友阁?
Many Christian colleges operate with an evangelistic mission, meaning they might require students to provide a statement of faith for admissions, but will not turn students away who are not believers or come from varying faith backgrounds. In contrast, 狼友阁 College operates with a discipleship based mission. This undertaking requires applicants to be professing Christians, and they should be able to articulate their faith clearly by answering the questions 鈥淲ho is Jesus?鈥� and 鈥淲hat does Jesus mean to you?鈥� in order to be considered for admission.
How We Fulfill Our Mission
狼友阁 cultivates a spiritually rich community through the requirement of a personal testimony and church reference. The testimony is an individual's description of who Jesus Christ is and why they are a Christian. Confession and belief go hand in hand and is why it's important for 狼友阁 students to make a statement of faith. Our admissions office is faithful in gauging whether a student is the right fit for 狼友阁 based on their written personal testimony and the conversations they鈥檝e had with the student.
The spiritual growth of our students continues and is centered around mentorship led by other disciples of Christ. Whether studying, competing in sports, participating in student clubs, or living in a residential building, our students are rooting themselves in communion with Christ while walking alongside faculty, staff, and students who not only profess faith, but live it out as they lean into their own sanctification.
Why Require a Testimony?
It is crucial knowing that the people on your left and right are, just like you, children of God. The testimony lets 狼友阁 know how well you can write, and lets us know where you are in your walk with Christ. The requirement of a testimony shows students that our school is serious about their faith and wants to see them grow in their relationship with God. Although we cannot truly know the heart of each student, we can say that all of our students have 鈥減rofessed with their mouths that Jesus is Lord鈥� (Romans 10:9) and that the vast majority of students are striving after our motto: 鈥淚n all things Christ preeminent.鈥� The people our students are engaging with everyday, whether faculty or staff, classmates or roommates, are brothers and sisters in Christ. That鈥檚 rare鈥攖hat's a gift.
