Introducing Houston Christian University
At Houston Christian University, our Christian liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs have equipped students to lead, collaborate, and discover out of a deep sense of purpose for more than 60 years. We are driven forward by our central confession, "Jesus Christ is Lord," and defined by our "Ten Pillars" core convictions. From this foundation we guide students confidently into discerning discovery, preparing them to think biblically, critically, and holistically about how to engage the world. We aspire to care for every student by meeting their academic, spiritual, and social needs with mentorship and support. At HCU, we are cultivating a culture of excellence that will mold a new generation of leaders in their communities, standard-setters in their professions, and fruitful disciples in their churches.
HCU is set in the heart of one of the most diverse and fastest-growing cities in the nation—and our growth and diversity match the dynamism of the city we call home. We continue to enroll strong freshmen classes, our graduate programs have more than doubled in the past decade, and we are significantly expanding our online programs as well.
The School of Christian Thought
We in the School of Christian Thought believe that theological formation is holistic. Preparation for ministry and a life of discipleship involves the head, heart, and hands. We are a community with a shared mission: to ground students in biblical truth, to form them to have a beautiful faith, and to prepare them for a flourishing ministry. We shape and train students to minister to a world in need through biblical and theological study, apologetics, spiritual formation, discipleship, and scholarship.
