Doctrinal Comments
OfflineOfflineI am honored to be a part of a university that encourages and uphold Christian faith and worldview. I respect students backround as to what they believe and even disagreements that promote critical thinking while maintaining respect for one another's view.
OfflineI encourage students to examine how the Doctrinal Statement and its foundational beliefs influence learning, moral reasoning, and cultural engagement. This helps them think critically about the relationship between belief systems and academic disciplines while reflecting on how worldview shapes their own approach to their work.
OfflineI am privileged to be part of a college that upholds a Christian worldview. I encourage students to share their faith and in turn, this allows them the freedom to apply their values and beliefs in their work. In addition to this, I believe it's important to practice kindness and understanding towards every student and background. I hope to model a Jesus-centered life for prospective students.

OfflineI have used the doctrinal statement in teaching creative writing by starting with theme and each student's belief system and world perspective.
OfflineI firmly believe that divine faith cannot be separated from modern life, and that we must teach students to live in alignment with the will of the one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth who has revealed Himself through Scripture.
OfflineAs a Christian, the doctrinal statement is a strong foundation for strengthening and reminding me of my convictions. At the heart of all we say and do is our belief in God, our faith in Jesus Christ and our willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us in our relationships. Whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself, whether on Campus, in the classroom, or in our communities, we must exemplify Jesus Christ. We are commanded to show and respond with love, through our words and actions, regardless of whether others share our beliefs or worldviews. That is my commitment as a Christian and what I strive to do each day. The message of the gospel is much needed in these turbulent times in our world and every Christian believer has an important role to play.
OfflineAs I move through my orientation at GCU, I’ve been reflecting on how meaningful it is to teach in a place where faith and learning go hand in hand. I’m genuinely excited to use the university’s doctrinal statement as a foundation for engaging with students—whether they come from a Christian background or are exploring other beliefs. It’s a powerful tool for creating thoughtful conversations, encouraging deeper understanding, and helping students grow both spiritually and academically in a supportive, faith-centered environment.
OfflineI have yet to teach a class, but I am excited about the freedom and encouragement to share about the Good News of Christ and God's word!
OfflineHaving the Doctrinal Statement available as a resource can be helpful to embracing diversity within the classroom. This ensures it is available for every student whether for investigating, curiosity or to help one to define Christian principles. Either way, GCU is known for this Statement of Faith and just how it fits into the historical context as well as the brand foundation GCU implements. An integral part of students embracing Finding their Purpose.
It is both an honor and a privilege to be part of a higher education community that upholds and supports these foundational doctrines. Having the opportunity to learn and serve within an institution that aligns academic pursuit with biblical truth is deeply meaningful. I am grateful to contribute to an environment where faith and scholarship work together to shape lives for eternal impact.
As a new instructor at GCU, the doctrinal statement will serve as a guide to support my students. Instructing with an over-arching purpose of kindness, compassion and respect. Using it's framework to encourage discourse, think critically and reflect on experiences as it relates to ones beliefs.
OfflineThis is excellent and it is my privilege to work for an institution that supports these values. I feel like the best way to implement the doctrinal statement with my students is to do my best to live a Christ-centered life and model the tenets expressed in the doctrinal statement.
