7THE PURPOSE AND IDENTITY OFGROVE CITY COLLEGESince its founding in 1876, Grove City College, committed to Christian principles, hasstriven to be equal in academic quality to the finest four-year colleges. It seeks to provideliberal and professional education of the highest quality that offers the strongest return oninvestment through a firm commitment to excellence, affordability, and the development ofspiritual and moral character.When the College was chartered, a broad, Christian-based cultural consensus prevailedin America. By charter, the doors of the College were open to qualified students “withoutregard to religious test or belief.” The founders of Grove City College, consciously avoidingnarrow sectarianism, held a vision of Christian society transcending denomination, creeds,and confessions. They were committed to the advancement of free enterprise, civil andreligious liberty, representative government, arts and letters, and science and technology.Believing that the fruits of civilization would be destroyed if religious and ethical roots wereallowed to wither, the founders intended that the claims of Christ as God and Savior and ofinspired Scripture be presented to all. They hoped that through its program of intellectual,moral, and spiritual education, Grove City College would produce young leaders, whatevertheir creed or confession, capable of pushing civilization forward on every frontier.Grove City College remains true to the vision of its founders. Rejecting relativism andsecularism, it fosters intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social development consistent with acommitment to Christian truth, morals, and freedom. Rather than political, ideological, orphilosophical agendas, objective truth continues as the goal of liberal learning. The core ofcurriculum, particularly in the humanities, consists of books, thinkers, and ideas provenacross the ages to be of value in the quest for knowledge. Intellectual inquiry remains opento the questions religion raises and affirms the answers Christianity offers. The ethicalabsolutes of the Ten Commandments and Christ's moral teachings guide the effort todevelop intellect and character in the classroom, chapel, and co-curricular activities. Andwhile many points of view are examined, the College unapologetically advocatespreservation of America's religious, political, and economic heritage of individual freedomand responsibility.THE VISION, MISSION AND VALUES OF GROVE CITYCOLLEGEVisionGrove City College strives to be the best Christian liberal arts college in America.Grounded in conservative values, we develop leaders of the highest proficiency, purpose,and principles ready to advance the common good.MissionGrove City College equips students to pursue their unique callings through anacademically excellent and Christ-centered learning and living experience distinguished bya commitment to affordability and its promotion of the Christian worldview, the foundationsof free society, and the love of neighbor.
8The stated values of the College are as follows:FaithfulnessBy God’s grace, we remain committed to the Christian faith of our founders. Whilewe continuously adapt our efforts in relation to the realities and challenges of this world,we serve a God who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.ExcellenceIn everything we do, from classrooms to residence halls, from performance stages tosports venues, we are devoted wholeheartedly to the highest standards of excellence. “[D]oall to the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31).CommunityWe foster life-long community engagement through a dynamic campus experiencemarked by service, hospitality, and abiding respect for others.StewardshipWe honor the financial support and commitment of families, alumni, and friends of theCollege by managing our resources wisely.IndependenceWe value and safeguard our institutional autonomy as a blessing of America’s heritageof freedom.GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF GROVE CITY COLLEGEIn pursuit of its mission, Grove City College seeks to achieve the following goals: To provide a quality education in a college which seeks to be thoroughly Christianand evangelical in character.

Offer a curriculum that is carefully reviewed and revised,avoiding educational philosophies that deny the possibility of truth or meaning,assert the relativity of values, or emphasize contemporary perspectives to theneglect of what has proved itself across the ages to be of value for human life. Byexample and by the content of what is taught, foster Christian values, general andspecialized knowledge, and commitment of lifelong learning required forsuccessful living in our ever-changing society. Promote Spiritual and Moral Development: Increase understanding of Christianprecepts within the context of Christian fellowship and worship in order to helpdevelop leadersh
