Mission Statement

The mission of California Christian College is to prepare men and women, through quality Bible-based Christian education, to serve Christ effectively in His church and throughout society.
Purpose Statement

The constituency and ownership of California Christian College, the California State Association of Free Will Baptists and CCC alumni have clearly articulated their desire for CCC to establish Christian ministry programs for the purpose of developing capable Christian leaders to serve Christ both in the Church and in society. The college seeks Christian students who are serious about Christian education, doing the will of God and preparing for church related ministries, either on the lay or professional level.

The college is committed to upholding the cardinal doctrines of the traditional Christian faith, the distinctives of the sponsoring denomination and the belief that Christian education must deal with the m****, social, spiritual, and academic dimensions of the student. The AA and BA programs emphasize the following: (1) a major in Bible and Christian ministry as the heart of each educational program, (2) a Biblical-Christian worldview as the integrating factor for the entire curriculum, (3) Biblical standards of m****s and ethics and (4) the concept that all students are preparing for Christian living and service.
Objectives

The general objectives expressed below indicate qualities California Christian College regards as generally essential for effective Christian service. Therefore, it is the objective of the College to provide the necessary educational environment, instructional resources and practical experiences so that graduates, within the framework of individual God-given personality, potential and abilities, may be reasonably expected to demonstrate the following:

1. A broad comprehension of Biblical knowledge and the cardinal doctrines of traditional Christian beliefs.
2. A basic Christian worldview.
3. An informed mind demonstrated through critical thinking.
4. Christian character demonstrated by consistent habits of prayer, Bible study, and personal obedience to the teachings of Scripture.
5. An understanding of evangelism and basic ministry skills necessary for reasonable effectiveness in Christian ministry/service.

Responsibility for Meeting Objectives:
All functions of the institution relate directly to the objectives of the educational program conceived to carry out the mission. Thus the role of all divisions, even those not directly educational, is that of means to an end—as in the following examples:

The Admissions office strives to admit students whose interests are appropriate to the College’s mission and who are capable of benefiting from one of its programs.

The Administrative division functions to enable the educational program to be effective by hiring qualified personnel, promoting appropriate job training and continuing education, and ensuring the accomplishment of the College’s Mission and Objectives.

The Student Services staff work to foster the development of students toward the maturity required for Christian service.

The Christian Services Department promotes and helps to provide required practical experience that complements classroom learning.

The Library has as its purpose to provide access to the information necessary to support the educational program.

Those involved in fund-raising seek to provide the financial resources necessary for the educational program to achieve its objectives.

Those who oversee Physical Facilities have as their purpose to provide buildings and grounds that facilitate the educational program.

Every faculty member is required to develop each course syllabus to reflect the college’s Mission and Purpose statements.

Students must buy in to the objectives of the College and apply themselves to the various intellectual and practical opportunities made available to them by the college for the development of their ministry skills. The student must also faithfully and honestly participate in assessment programs to assist the College in measuring the successful accomplishment of its objectives.
