I want to let you know we have been praying for you and trust the Lord will “direct your path” as you “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) CCU is a wonderful work of God. We are excited that you have an interest in joining the Lord’s work here at CCU! We are dedicated to serving you and helping you discover and prepare for God’s calling on your life. CCU was birthed in prayer and has matured and grown by leaps and bounds by faith and the unlimited grace of God. Our vision is to Make Disciples. Our mission or how we achieve our vision is: Simply Jesus, Superior Academics, Servant Leadership. In other words, we want to simply share Jesus simply. Next, we craft an academic experience that is diversified, cutting edge and personal. CCU is an online community with localized on-site campuses and as such, provides a unique and one of a kind experience for our students that speak of preparing them to immerse themselves in superior academics via emerging technologies. Finally, our end goal is to serve each of our students by example so they in turn can become servant leaders in their marriages, ministries and beyond. We warmly invite you to visit our website, email us or call with any questions you may have. We are elated you are seeking the Lord’s direction in your educational endeavors! We are here to serve you. May God richly bless your pursuit of his will for your life at CCU and beyond! Blessings, F. Chapin Marsh III, Ed.D.
