Core Values
Live with faith
At UCC, we believe in the profound importance of embracing our Christian calling to prioritize integrating faith and knowledge to empower our students. Through a deliberate focus on Christian principles, we foster an environment where individuals can grow and flourish. This integration equips our students with the foundation for leadership, instilling values of integrity and compassion to navigate challenges with faith and clarity.
Pursue excellence
At UCC, we understand that excellence is not achieved by chance; it's the result of continuous effort and a commitment to nothing short of our best. By upholding standards of excellence in all our endeavors, we honor the opportunities bestowed upon us by the Divine. In doing so, we not only serve God but also fulfill our duty to uplift and serve our fellow human beings with distinction and integrity.
Growth Mindset
At UCC, we wholeheartedly believe in fostering self-determination through education. Embracing a growth mindset means recognizing that our intelligence, creativity, character, and strengths are cultivated through dedication, perseverance, and continuous learning. We aim to empower students, faculty, and staff not only to succeed during their time with us but also to flourish long after graduation or their next pursuits. By nurturing such a culture, we are better equipped to support individuals in their journey to become lifelong learners, continually expanding their knowledge and honing their skills.
Serve
At UCC, we embrace the notion of contributing to a greater purpose beyond ourselves. Our administration, faculty, and staff recognize the significance of sustaining not only our campus but also our local and global communities. Through various avenues such as leadership opportunities, community engagement, service learning, and volunteerism, we empower and encourage students to extend their impact beyond our institution's walls. We believe in cultivating active citizenship, inspiring students to initiate positive change, lead progress, and ultimately make a meaningful difference in the world.
Make a difference
At UCC, we're committed to making a difference on local, national, and global scales. Through collaborative partnerships and impactful international engagements, we mobilize our intellectual resources to drive societal advancements. By offering thought leadership, we aim to elevate our profile and influence, speaking to the world and effecting positive change.
