Crown College Mission, Vision and Values

Mission

The mission of Crown College is to provide a biblically based education for Christian leadership in The Christian and Missionary Alliance, the church at large, and the world.

The Crown College experience is more than just a degree-it is equipping students to do what they do best, whether that’s being a nurse, a video technician, a teacher, a pastor, or a business leader. It means taking the skills, talents and passion that God has given to our students and showing them how to impact the world with those very skills and careers.

Vision

Christians prepared to serve and influence the world.

Crown College receives outstanding support from the community and corporations in the area, and partnerships with the College are continually formulated in locations across the country and throughout the world.

Values

• Christ-centered. A curriculum and community that is focused on Christ.
• Academically Excellent. Preparing students for a wide range of professional careers.
• Globally Connected. Interaction with learning communities and cultures around the world.
• Affordable. An exceptional private college education, more affordable than others in the area
 

The Crown Logo

The Crest and the Word Mark symbolize commitment to academic excellence. Placement of the stylized Crown, acknowledging Christ as King, represents the College’s role in the world (gray) to equip students for moving heavenward (majestic purple) through knowledge of, and reliance on, Jesus Christ.

Academic Excellence is More Than a Core Value at Crown; It’s a Way of Life

Crown offers more than 40 accredited degree programs on-campus and online, giving students rich learning opportunities that will equip them with knowledge, skills and relevant real - world experiences to be effective in career, ministry and life.

Crown College is consistently ranked among the Best Midwest Regional Colleges according to U.S. News & World Report.

Whether in our Honors Program or not, every opportunity for academic excellence is engaged at Crown - small class sizes, low student-to-faculty ratios, rich learning environments and passionate faculty. Crown’s dedicated professors - comprised of PhD’s, pastors, business executives, theologians, counselors, and professionals - represent some of the finest educators anywhere and students are challenged at every level.

It is expected that students will be honest in all their academic work and will be responsible for their own work. Scholastic dishonesty is a serious violation of both academic standards and biblical teachings, and is an affront to other students and the faculty.
