Christ-Centered

As Paul says, “In Him all things hold together” (Col 1:17), and in Him are, “Hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col 2:3). Jesus Christ is Lord of all and His Word is the interpretive principle of all academic disciplines.

UCCA strives to create an educational environment that nurtures both the intellectual and spiritual growth of each student, equipping them to become men and women who approach the world with a mindset dedicated to redeeming their share of it for the glory of God.
