Your Purpose. Our Mission.

I am driven to serve at CSU because I love co-laboring with fellow servants to further the university’s mission. I desire to help build something that will have enduring effect. The opportunity to create an environment where people are challenged toward greater gospel impact in their teaching, administration, and service capacities enthuses me. The privilege of fostering a learning community in which every discipline is taught from a theologically-framed understanding resulting in the integration of faith, learning, living, and serving is rewarding. More than anything else, I am convinced that CSU is a place where I can fulfill my singular life mission to glorify God by raising up a godly generation of marketplace and ministry leaders who can raise up another godly generation.
