Christlikeness is First
The founder of Bob Jones University placed a great emphasis upon building Christian character because he understood God’s singular mission on the earth: redeem and restore fallen people to the likeness of His Son to the praise of His glory. Bob Jones University continues that emphasis and places the development of Christlike character at the center of its mission:
Within the cultural and academic soil of liberal arts higher education,
Bob Jones University exists to grow Christlike character that is scripturally disciplined, others-serving, God-loving, Christ-proclaiming and focused above.
God’s redemptive and restorative mission in the hearts of men is the base upon which the Christian worldview is rooted and which compels the serious pursuit of Christlikeness in the believer.
The Core Values of BJU keep before the University family the primary components of Christlikeness and provide the benchmarks upon which growth in Christlikeness is measured.
