MISSION STATEMENTPreambleRegent University is an institution of higher learning that exists to bring glory to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christthrough the work of the Holy Spirit.VisionOur vision is to be the most influential, Christian, transformational university in the world.MissionRegent University serves as a center of Christian thought and action to provide excellent education through a biblicalperspective and global context equipping Christian leaders to change the world.PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATIONRegent University is a Christ-centered institution. The Board of Trustees, as well as the faculty and staff of the university,is committed to an evangelical interpretation and application of the Christian faith. The campus community is closelyidentified with the present-day renewal movement, which emphasizes the gifts, fruits, and ministries of the Holy Spirit.It is expected that our students will both understand and agree to receive an education in accordance with the followingarticles. That the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept. That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That man was created in the image of God but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself. That the only hope for man is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died totake upon Himself the punishment for the sin of mankind, and who rose from the dead, so that by receivingHim as Savior and Lord, man is redeemed by His blood. That Jesus Christ will personally return to earth in power and glory. That the Holy Spirit indwells those who receive Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous andholy lives. That the Church is the Body of Christ and is comprised of all those who, through belief in Christ, have beenspiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The mission of the church is worldwide evangelization andthe nurturing and making disciples of Christians.HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITYDr. M. G. “Pat” Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), had an inspired vision of establishinga graduate-level institution that would train mature men and women for the challenge of representing Christ in theirprofessions. In 1977, that vision materialized when CBN University was incorporated as a nonprofit educational institutionin Virginia Beach, Virginia. In the fall of 1978, 77 students began classes in modest, rented facilities.By October 1989, CBN University had grown from a School of Communication and the Arts to seven professional schoolswith nearly 800 students. On January 1, 1990, in recognition of this growth, the Board of Trustees voted to change thename of CBN University to Regent University. A “regent” is one who represents a king in his absence. For us at RegentUniversity, a regent is one who represents Christ, our Sovereign, in whatever sphere of life he or she may be called to serveHim.The university has grown to 11,000 students earning associates, bachelors, masters, or doctoral degrees at our VirginiaBeach Campus or online via the worldwide web.Regent UniversityPage 8
