Welcome to Eastern University, an academic community with a passion to change the world through our missional commitment to Faith, Reason and Justice.

• Faith. We are wholly devoted to Christ, to Scripture, and to the great truths and traditions of the Christian faith. Our faith is a living faith that transforms our lives and affects our understanding of the world. 
• Reason. We believe that a vibrant life of faith invites us to critically reflect on our understanding of God and the world, so that we are always growing in our capacity to love God and our neighbors.
• Justice. We follow Jesus and the biblical prophets by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the injured, the struggling, the poor, and the oppressed. We labor to understand and bring an end to the patterns of social, economic, and political exploitation that mar our broken world. 

Whatever your background and experience, the Eastern community will labor with love to help you become the person you were intended to be. You were created by God and bear God’s image. Come study with us, and discover how that image can blossom into abundant life.
