Statement of Purpose
Hardin-Simmons University, a church-related institution affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas:
- 通过在文科基础上提供具有学术挑战性的本科教育,促进学生的智力发展,并通过提供专门的研究生和专业学位课程来促进学术发展.
- 一个多世纪以来,学术卓越一直是澳门皇冠赌场平台的首要任务. 核心课程涉及学生与所选专业要求有关的广泛的一般研究的探究. 研究生课程拓宽了科学和专业学科的学习范围,并鼓励学生将学习视为终身的过程. 由经验丰富的澳门皇冠赌场平台教授的小班授课为互动学习提供了机会. 该机构对卓越的承诺最好地体现在传统上在各个领域都表现出色的毕业生的生活中.
- 通过保持对基督教信仰的明确认同和忠诚,并在历史浸礼会价值观和原则的背景下运作,肯定基督教信仰对当代世界生活的相关性和重要性.
- Founded in 1891 by a determined group of ministers, 农场主, 和商人, 澳门皇冠赌场平台确立了发展思想和培养学生精神生活的双重目标. That commitment to encourage growth in faith and knowledge has remained central. Believing academic excellence and Christian faith to be complementary, the university emphasizes the need for interaction between faith and reason.
- 鼓励个人通过积极参与智力活动来过服务的生活, 文化, and religious life, both on the campus and in the larger communities of Abilene and the world.
Although Western in tradition, the university takes pride in the cosmopolitan nature of its students, 教师, 和工作人员, and encourages the development of an international perspective. Through its leadership in providing intellectual, 精神上的, 文化, and social opportunities, 大学是学生和社区进步和丰富的催化剂. (Approved, 校董会, September 16, 1992)

耶稣基督
We believe in 耶稣基督, the Word become flesh, fully 神 and fully human, who died for us and was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. Christ’s return will complete 神’s redemptive mission. 耶稣基督 is the only mediator between 神 and humanity.

人类
We believe that humans were created in the image of 神. Humankind disobeyed 神 and fell from a sinless state when tempted by Satan. Because all humans are sinful, they are separated from 神 and stand in need of rescue and redemption. Because of His great love, 神 provided a way for humanity to be put right with him. The death and resurrection of 耶稣基督 provide for rescue and redemption from sin.
