Core Values
We have five core institutional values to sustain our strategic plan and offer an essential context for the successful execution of AICU's mission.
Passion
Our sovereign Lord, Jesus the Christ, has called us individually and collectively to love our God and to love our neighbors as ourselves—above all else. To that end, we, the board, faculty, and staff of AICU:
- Commit to pursuing our work together with the passion that comes from recognizing we are called to our work and relationships by God for purposes beyond our comfort, agendas, or understanding.
- We place our whole heart and feeling into our work with a holy discontent with things as they are.
- We commit to long-suffering obedience in the same direction of pursuing new solutions and better ways.
- We commit to be the best stewards of this work that God has given to us recognizing that God will determine the outcome.
- While we have opinions about many things, we are going to stake on the following four values that will determine the way we work together and with students, faculty, donors, partners, the public, and every other stakeholder of AICU.
Celebrate
Recognizing that every good and perfect gift is from above, we are thankful. We take time to recognize and mark God’s good gifts that come to us personally and in our work together. Because these gifts come to us in both success and failure:
- We reflect on our work and celebrate ALL that we are learning.
- We create a workplace that invites “dancing and singing” to the Lord – a place where releasing holy joy is welcome because we know the redemptive power of thankfulness and joy.
Respect
Respect People in all their diversity are gifts made in God’s image and therefore worthy of respect. We show respect by:
- Being accountable to one another.
- AICU at a Glance – American International Christian University
- Dealing with conflict in a direct manner. d. We honor one another by listening and communicating in an open, patient, and sensitive manner.
- We encourage and value each person’s input, ideas, and perspectives.
- We show consideration through clear communications and punctuality.
- We acknowledge our differences and work together to complement our strengths and weaknesses.
Integrity
Integrity We seek to be an honest reflection of God who became visible in Jesus Christ. The fundamental spirituality of Jesus is submission to the will of God. We therefore:
- Listen intently for God’s direction and commit without excuse to pursue that path
- We pursue truth with grace, holiness with mercy, and justice with compassion.
- We strive to be authentic in our words, emotions, and actions.
Community
Recognizing the triune God exists forever in community expressed in the church as body and family, we live into that calling.
- We commit to listen, pray, speak, work, study, suffer, struggle, and do theology together, not solely or in isolation.
- Our communion is local and global. It includes the saints of the past, “that great cloud of witnesses,” our partners, our teams, our students, and those they serve
- We strive to be authentic in our words, emotions, and actions.
