The CMC distinctives

Biblical

Accredited biblical higher education with an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Study Scripture and theology in a setting that allows for personal guidance from your professors.

Missional

Making disciples who make disciples is central to CMC’s mission. Students study the Bible, serve in local churches, and participate in missions as they prepare for a life of missional service.

Affordable

CMC’s goal is to prepare graduates for ministry without student debt. Low tuition, scholarships, financial aid assistance, and the Campus Work Program help students cover the cost of their education.

Discipleship

Grow in faith.
Put it into practice.

At CMC, discipleship includes prayer, discipleship groups, and regular conversations about spiritual growth. Each semester, students reflect on their progress and receive guidance for continued growth.
