Our mission is to advance the study of human movement (biokinetics) as an important evidence-based academic pursuit, a preparation for careers in the fitness and allied health professions, and a manifestation of God’s hand in creating and upholding life.

We promote a curriculum of knowledge and skills that embraces the life of the body, the mind, and the spirit, and educates the whole person to bring “the whole Gospel to the whole world”
We recognize exercise as therapy, occupational work, recreation, competitive sport, and an essential element to healthy stewardship of the temple of the Holy Spirit. As such, we promote a curriculum of knowledge and skills that embraces the life of the body, the mind, and the spirit, and educates the whole person to bring “the whole Gospel to the whole world”. Our purpose is to guide Biokinetics students, through the majors of athletic training and exercise science, to enter their professions, or graduate schools, with the necessary expertise and acumen to become effective practitioners who serve God and their communities. Additionally, we seek to serve the Eastern community through health and fitness education.
