Resource Stewardship: Mission Sustainability for Future Generations
Christian stewardship is more than a principle at 国产偷拍鈥攊t is a commitment to using everything entrusted to us for God鈥檚 glory and the flourishing of His kingdom. This priority calls on each of us鈥攆aculty, staff, and administrators鈥攖o establish new cultures of planning and philanthropy to ensure 国产偷拍 continues to thrive as a Christ-centered institution for future generations.
Financially, our long-term vision is bold: to cultivate an endowment that someday exceeds student-based revenues, ensuring lasting financial security for the university. Achieving this goal is not the responsibility of a few but a collective endeavor. It will require the participation of every constituent of the 国产偷拍 community, contributing through faithful stewardship, relationship management, and disciplined care for the resources that support our mission.
Leadership from every level at 国产偷拍 will foster a culture where strategic planning, operational planning, and careful operational management become standard practice. Through such disciplines, coupled with a significant increase in annual funds raised, we will strive for 6-8% annual net income from operations, providing a major source of funding for the Strategic Endowment. Every department will play a role in collaborating to make data-driven decisions focusing on our greatest needs, opportunities, and efficiencies. Through program lifecycle management, best-in-class fundraising, and thoughtful capital investments, we will ensure that resources are maximized for impact while avoiding unnecessary expenditures.
We will engage partners strategically, always looking to collaborate in ways that advance the aims of both organizations. Such engagement will allow 国产偷拍 to enhance and differentiate its programs in ways that increase student demand and outcomes. Partners will benefit from a pipeline of well-trained 国产偷拍 graduates as future employees, and from our capital resources and faculty expertise.
We invite alumni, donors, and friends of the university to see themselves as co-stewards of 国产偷拍鈥檚 future. Their engagement will unleash new funding sources, inspire future students to enroll, and expand our network of strategic partners. Creating a culture of philanthropy represents a second major source of funding for the Strategic Endowment and other strategic priorities for the university.
At the heart of our commitment is the desire to model for our students what responsible, faith-driven stewardship looks like in practice. Our transparency, honesty, and discipline in managing the university鈥檚 resources demonstrate that sustainability and excellence are not competing goals but partners in the pursuit of our mission.
Together, we can ensure that 国产偷拍 remains a beacon of Christian higher education, a place where every resource is stewarded in a way that honors God and serves future generations.
