General Information Redeemer University College is an undergraduate Christian liberal arts and science university, offering courses and programs leading to a Bachelor’s Degree. Mission Statement The mission of Redeemer University College is: first, to offer a university level liberal arts and science education which is Scripturallydirected and explores the relation of faith, learning, and living from a Reformed Christian perspective; and, second, to support research and creative endeavour in this context. Central to this mission are the following objectives: to equip students for lives of leadership and service under the Lordship of Jesus Christ; to advance knowledge through excellence in teaching and in scholarship; to be an academic community in which faculty, staff and students can develop intellectually, socially, and spiritually; to reach out through academic service to society; and in all these things to glorify God. Vision Statement Redeemer’s vision is to be internationally engaged as an excellent liberal arts & science university that is unabashedly Christ-centred and prepares students to reflect a distinctive worldview in any vocation and place they are called. This vision captures the bold faith that Redeemer’s leaders, faculty, staff, students and stakeholders hold for the future. There is a strong commitment to the Reformed Christian heritage and tradition upon which Redeemer was founded, and a great longing to reach out into the wider world in a way that has impact for God’s glory. Institutional Purpose The overall purpose of the institution is to equip students to fulfill their callings in the Kingdom of God by providing them with a post-secondary education that is grounded in the Scriptures. Such a Christian education will enable students to discern the biblical basis of a Christian worldview, to translate this worldview into a systematic framework for academic work, to acquire an understanding of the profoundly religious nature of cultural formation and an historical awareness of the conflicting spiritual roots of contemporary culture, and to apply and develop these insights in the various liberal arts and science and in an area of disciplinary specialization. Such an education will help strengthen students’ commitment to the Christian faith and better prepare them to exercise their God-given talents and abilities in the full range of life’s callings and vocations. Students will be enabled to understand the times in which they are living and the direction in which their society is headed and to strive for the furtherance of the Lordship of Christ in a life of service to God and their neighbour. The framework for this Scripturally-directed program of education is delineated in the Statement of Basis and Principles, which is part of the charter of Redeemer University College. It is given expression in a number of Educational Guidelines. Statement of Basis and Principles (This statement in its original form is a founding document adopted by the institution’s membership in 1980. All references to “man” are intended to be gender inclusive.) Our supreme standard is the Bible. The Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, reveal some basic principles relevant to education, which we affirm: Scripture. The Scriptures are the written and inspired Word of God, the infallible and authoritative rule of faith for the direction of the whole of life. Creation. God created and structured the universe in all its many ways by His Word. The meaning of creation is focused in man, God’s imagebearer, with whom He has established a special covenant relationship in Jesus Christ. Sin. Man’s disobedience, which brought God’s curse upon all mankind, alienated man from his Creator, himself, his fellow man, and the rest of the creation; distorted his view of the meaning and purpose of life; and misdirected human culture and learning. Redemption. Christ, the Word of God incarnate, is the only Redeemer, the Renewer of our whole life. He restores man and the rest of the creation to God and calls man back to his God-appointed task in the world. Human life. Man is by nature a religious being. All of human life, including educational work, must be understood as a response to the one true God. Consequently, man serves either the Lord or a god of his own making. Knowledge. True knowledge of God, ourselves, and the rest of the creation is made possible only by means of a true faith in Jesus Christ, in whom are found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. True knowledge is attained only when the Holy Spirit enlightens people’s hearts by the integrating Word of God and sets them in the truth. However, by God’s gracious providence after the fall, those who reject the Word of God do provide many valuable insights into the structure of reality. Teaching and Learning. In the context of their scholarship, the instructors at Redeemer University College are called to lead students toward a deeper understanding of God’s world and its history and to help them reach a cultural maturity grounded in biblical faith. In order to carry out this calling, the instructors and students should endeavour to discover God’s laws and the structures of the creation so that the students may effectively take up their specific responsibilities and vocations in a way that will further the coming of the Lord’s Kingdom. We believe that this Statement of Basis and Principles is wholly in harmony not only with Scripture but also with the historic creeds of the Reformation. 6
