EMU Vision, Mission, Values Statement

Our Vision
EMU envisions a learning community marked by academic excellence, creative process, professional competence, and passionate Christian faith, offering healing and hope in our diverse world. To this end, we commit ourselves to:

do justice,
love mercy, and
walk humbly with God.

Our Mission
EMU educates students to live in a global context. Our Anabaptist Christian community challenges students to pursue their life calling through scholarly inquiry, artistic creation, guided practice, and life-changing cross-cultural encounter. We invite each person to experience Christ and follow His call to:

witness faithfully,
serve compassionately, and
walk boldly in the way of nonviolence and peace.

Our Shared Values
EMU instills the enduring values of our Anabaptist tradition in each generation:

Christian discipleship,
community,
service, and
peacebuilding.

Together we worship God, seek truth, and care for each other.
