ECCC PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Eastern Carolina Christian College has an educational program that displays its mission. The program's philosophical and theological foundation is the Word of God as presented in the Holy Scriptures. The Godhead (father) is the source of all truth; therefore all educational programs are Christ-centered led by the Holy Spirit. Our program formats itself under the fact that God created humankind in His image and likeness at creation. We are firm believers of the fact that we are saved by grace through faith.

The education programs at Eastern Carolina Christian College prepare student learners to share their Christian gifts in chosen fields of service. The college seeks to provide a learning process that allows the student freedom of inquiry in a religious learning community of exchange between faculty, staff and the administration. Learning is a process of community wholeness. Course offerings are guided by the biblical principles found in II Timothy 3:16-17 and Ephesians 4:1-3.
