“FOR ME [US] TO LIVE IS CHRIST” (Philippians 1:21)
To me, Christ-centered refers not only to the core of the institution but also to the atmosphere in which all participants live. “In Christ” is their residence. Wherever they are found, the core of their being is “in Christ” and the atmosphere of their doing is “in Christ” (In Christ we live and move and have our being, Acts 17:28a).

First, to state the obvious: if being a Christ-centered university means that a Huntington University accounting graduate is unable to perform cost accounting but is armed to the teeth with how to debate eternal security at the office water cooler, a Huntington degree might be slightly-less prestigious.

As an alum, a trustee for the past decade, and now denominational staff person, I have spent considerable time and energy reflecting on what it means to be a “Christ-centered” institution at Huntington University. The connectional nature of the relationship between the University and the denomination yokes us with a common concern: maintaining the primacy of being centered in Christ while having the academic freedom to explore the depths of the intrinsic revelations of Himself God has placed in every facet of creation and culture. The pursuits must never be seen as mutually exclusive or in competition. They are complementary in nature, the ends of one fulfilling the ends of the other.

As I have considered this question since being invited to share my thoughts I have continued to come back to one underlying thought. This is that for Huntington University to be Christ centered the people who are the University must be centered in Christ and centered on Christ.

A Christ-centered university believes that the life of the mind is central to the Christian’s activities. At Huntington we assert that all truth comes from God; because of that all truth is worth pursuing with the goal of knowing God and glorifying him forever. The key word in that previous sentence is “knowing,” and knowing is hard work.

Forty years ago this coming May I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Huntington College. Although I had a great experience at Huntington, I couldn’t fully appreciate how deeply influenced I was by my education at this Christ-centered institution. 40 years later I am still being impacted. So…what does it mean to me that Huntington is a Christ- centered university?
