The core values of Carolina
Evangelical Divinity School are:
Christ as Teacher We believe that the teacher
who has come from God continues in that role today as he reveals
the Father and opens the Scriptures to us through the Spirit.
Scripture as Trustworthy We have the Scriptures at the
center of our curriculum because they are a totally trustworthy
revelation of God's will and redemptive activity.
Discipleship as Transformation We understand discipleship
as transformation into the image of Christ which enables us to
love him with the totality of our being and to obey his commands.
Scholarship as Rigorous We hold that preparation for
ministry should be rigorous in the development of the required
theological and professional competencies.
Ministry as Servanthood We choose the model for ministry
given by Jesus who came to serve, not be served.
Evangelicalism as Multi-denominational We cherish the multi-denominational
nature of evangelicalism and respect theological differences
among Christ-centered Christians.
Mission as Global We anticipate the day when
the entire earth will be filled with the glory of God and commit
ourselves to participating in the global mission given by the
risen Lord.
