Guiding Philosophy
In the founding and establishing of Southwestern
Christian College, those who participated were motivated by
a mutual desire to provide for its students' preparation for
effective and successful Christian living. Each was keenly
sensitive to the urgency of this need. To appreciate its
importance, one must fully understand the concepts of
"Christian Living".
Man is a social being and, as such, must be prepared to
adjust himself to his environment and fellow man. He must be
able to participate effectively in those social advances
which characterize progress. He must acquire the ability to
express effectively his own ideas, work cooperatively with
others, and pursue a personally satisfying and socially
constructive vocation, free from the fears that crush
initiative, frustrate ambition, and undermine self-reliance.
These virtues, however, do not constitute the entirety of
the concept of "Christian Living". They attain their true
significance in the pattern of human conduct only when
founded upon a sincere and conscientious pursuit of the
spiritual development of the individual. One must know,
understand, and follow the divinely inspired pattern for
this growth. Man has a responsibility to God that supersedes
all others, and God has stated the terms by which that
responsibility is to be met. Since the Bible is God's
revelation of the pattern of Spiritual development, daily
instruction in His Word is a fundamental aspect of SwCC. To
the founders and supporters of Southwestern Christian
College, this is the most significant aspect of the whole
pattern of human growth and development.
In keeping with this concept of "Christian Living",
Southwestern Christian College is dedicated to the purpose
of offering such academic instruction that will prepare the
student to effectively take his place in the business and
social world, well rooted and grounded in the Word of God.
