As an instructor of anatomy and physiology, I apply the doctrinal statement by teaching with an emphasis on dignity, stewardship, and respect for the human body.

As an instructor, I find the Doctrinal Statement to be a valuable framework for how I guide classroom dialogue and model professional responsibility. I often use it to remind students that while we pursue rigorous academic inquiry, our work is also shaped by honesty, respect, and a commitment to truth. When teaching, I incorporate Christian worldview perspectives into lessons by showing how faith can inform ethical decision-making, especially in complex or challenging situations. At the same time, I encourage open inquiry and respectful engagement with diverse viewpoints, making it clear that faith and academic excellence are not in conflict but can work together to form a holistic educational experience.

The video was very helpful in explaining classroom and on campus scenarios where the doctrinal statement can be applied. It gives us a frame work for our classroom discussions and how to always lead with love and openness to others perspectives.

As a new instructor at GCU, I plan to use the doctrinal statement as a framework to ensure my teaching in each course aligns with the principles and values of GCU.

This is very helpful as a new Adjunct faculty member to learn about the foundational Christian views and how GCU strives to accept and respect other views and beliefs of everyone.  I am excited to be part of a strong community, and be supportive to students and colleagues.

As a new instructor, I am appreciative of this opportunity to engage, learn, and grow with students and faculty and share life's experiences shaped by my faith in the decrees of the doctrinal statement.  A faith that keep me grounded in this attitude of gratitude; to be gracious and thankful for all life's events [easy and challenging]  to humble, direct, and show us that each day is an opportunity to be better versions of ourselves, than we were yesterday.

I am an online Kindergarten teacher and I pray for each of them and my fellow staff members.   I show the love of Jesus by encouraging the little ones that they are beautifully made.  I am teaching them to love one another as Jesus loves us.  I am excited to teach online educators and freely share my faith and pray for and with my students.

As a new instructor, I'm looking forward to incorporating the doctrinal statement in how I teach my class. As a relatively new Christian myself, I'm excited to share the salvation and love of Jesus Christ.

As a new instructor at GCU, I plan to use the doctrinal statement as a foundation for encouraging thoughtful discussions about faith and values. I want students to see how the Christian worldview can guide us as we think through some of life’s biggest questions, both in and out of the classroom. My goal is to create an environment where students can explore their beliefs and engage respectfully with different perspectives.

I am a new instructor. I am a believer, and there is nothing better to practice in the institution that aligns with your beliefs. I believe this "that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone; that salvation involves the redemption of the whole person and is offered freely to all who exercise faith in Jesus Christ". I think GCU nailed it with their doctrine statement of faith and belief.

I appreciate the freedom that Grand Canyon University offers faculty to incorporate Christianity into academia. I look forward to this new method of teaching my learners and incorporating my faith into practice.

I am a new instructor, but I am Quaker and Mr. Mueller's statements on world view align the theology I was raised in and still believe.
