MC's Mission, Vision, and Values: Our Mission: To educate and train leaders to effectively and efficiently change their world. The rationale for the mission statement of Messenger College originates out of four foundational needs Messenger College senses it must address. 1) We must strive to compassionately understand the substructures and underpinnings of our contemporary society. 2) We must make an authentic expression (communication) of the Gospel/Truth. Truth, genuinely stated and authentically expressed, will save the present generation, ensuring the future. 3) We must find an effective way to confront our contemporary society with the rational content and authentic personal expression of ultimate and objective truth (God’s Word-the Gospel). 4) We must develop ministers, spiritual leaders, preachers, and communicators of character and integrity, who are prepared, able, and willing to rise to this contemporary occasion and meet the above challenge. 4 Foundational Planks: 1) Mission Mission has to do with the process of education. It is the process of education, which enables one to understand life universally and to discover one’s purpose. Mission and education have to do with the body of foundational knowledge that is necessary to fulfill one’s calling in life. This relates to the academic side of the process of education and training. 2) Method This plank has to do with the process of training. It is the process of training that enables one to understand and acquire a skill to accomplish the mission (call). This includes several varied, but inter-related skills and disciplines and relates to the practical side of the process of education and training. 3) Message This plank has to do with effectiveness. Effectiveness is doing the right thing in order to accomplish the mission. Therefore, this plank has to do with the nature and concept of truth (God’s Word – the Gospel). Knowing and doing the right thing, as opposed to an expedient thing, is a quality of leadership. 4) Messenger This plank has to do with the efficiency of the person carrying the message. Efficiency is doing the right thing in the right way. It has to do with whom and what the messenger is relative to issues of character, integrity, and authentic spiritual formation. Doing things in the right way, as opposed to an expedient way, is a quality of management. Messenger College is committed to educating ministers and community leaders who will be: Academically equipped with the essential knowledge, Well-versed in the prerequisite skills, and Experienced in the fundamental practicalities necessary to authoritatively and effectively respond to the needs of the church and the world in which we live. Our Commitments: Messenger College is a Christian, evangelical, Pentecostal institution founded to serve the youth and adult learners of the Pentecostal Church of God and the community. The College is not concerned with challenging the church allegiance of its students; rather, it seeks to bring each student into a more personal relationship with Christ and to acquaint the student with the Holy Spirit and the operation of the spiritual gifts for the enrichment of spiritual life and ministry. Faculty members are dedicated Christian men and women endowed with the power and love of the Holy Spirit. Each is academically competent and is dedicated to the ideal of educating the whole person in the concept that man is a triune being – spirit, mind and body. Further, each member of the faculty has an authentic concern for the welfare and total development of each student. • Curriculum Messenger College has a general education and professional curriculum. Particular emphasis is placed on biblical studies, music, missions/intercultural studies and discipleship. • Truth Messenger College is committed to truth. Truth is the way things really are. Facts change but truth is eternal. It is constant, reliable and fixed. • Prayer Messenger College emphasizes prayer as a way of life. On the Messenger College campus, prayer is a normal and a natural means of constantly relating all of life to the will of God. Messenger College has explicit rules and regulations for the development of self-discipline and character. Messenger College believes that self-discipline and learning should go hand-in-hand to build character. A student can best develop in the dimension of the whole person when both sound scholarly habits and a commitment to a disciplined behavior and sound character are engaged. Messenger College firmly stands for and works to create a climate in which appreciation and respect is encouraged between the sexes, between members of different ethnic groups, between students and faculty, and in all other relationships. In addition, the College encourages spiritual worship and personal witness as well as church attendance. Further, the College encourages cultivation of prayer and Bible-study habits, personal integrity in speech, business and conduct, and a personal lifestyle that enhances individual integrity and personal development. Unseemly behavior is prohibited at the College. This includes sexual immorality, academic dishonesty, lying, stealing, cheating, gambling, profanity, vandalism, use of tobacco, immodest dress, violation of the rights of others, and other negative behaviors. Upon enrollment at Messenger College, the student voluntarily accepts a unique way of life that seeks to provide development of spirit and physical fitness on the same high level as that of intellect. The student is expected to maintain the highest standards of behavior and performance while attending Messenger College, both on and off campus.
