N麻豆原创 students frequently express that we do college different. How do you believe N麻豆原创 does college different? N麻豆原创 does college different by investing not only in students鈥 educational success, but also their social and spiritual growth. By encouraging community and spiritual thriving, N麻豆原创 is also urging students to love each other. This loving environment, which is no doubt a result and representation of God鈥檚 love, creates an atmosphere at N麻豆原创 that is just different.听听
How do you see/experience N麻豆原创鈥檚 motto of 鈥淪eek Ye First the Kingdom of God鈥 lived out on campus? One of the ways I see this motto lived out is through our Monday chapel services. On Mondays we get to hear the chaplain team interview staff and faculty members at N麻豆原创. Whether they teach psychology, finance or are school administration, we hear about how they are pursuing God. It is easy to see God in the songs that we sing in services throughout the week and in times of prayer that are built in, but seeing how God is active in the classroom on top of that shows that we are seeking first and foremost the Kingdom of God.听
