Equipping leaders with a biblical worldview
Visionary leaders established the Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership at Charleston Southern University in 2013 to equip individuals for leadership and service in diverse vocations including the church, business, government, education, medicine and law. The biblical worldview rests at the foundation of the center, which utilizes four institutes to fulfill its mission and vision.

The institute is guided by a faith integration approach which affirms the following principles for dialogue at the boundaries between faith and diverse academic disciplines: 1) the Bible provides the lens for understanding truth, 2) there is a unity between the Christian faith and knowledge and 3) Christian educators must seek to bring together the many parts into one whole.
- Marketplace Ministry Institute
The Marketplace Ministry Institute serves as a resource and support system for marketplace ministry efforts and organizations seeking to impact the local marketplace and its leaders for Christ. The institute is closely aligned with the work of the College of Business.
