Who We Are

For almost 200 years, Taylor University has been a Christ-centered, student-focused university. We are in a season of significant renewal and excitement, having recently completed a yearlong strategic planning process that drew thousands of supporters deeper into their relationship with the University. Founded in 1846, Taylor focuses on student learning, celebrates intentional community, and leads in the work of faith-learning integration. It stands as the oldest non-denominational school within the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). 

Each member of Taylor’s dedicated faculty and staff is devoted to the intellectual and spiritual formation of students—in classrooms and residence halls, on the athletic turf and performance stage, and around the world. We take our faith seriously, and we are grateful for the movement of God here. It’s real, it’s tangible, and it’s 100% Spirit-driven. Sure, we’ve been intentional with creating spaces and time for our community to grow closer to God, but the outcomes are all because of Him. 

All students, faculty, and staff have professed belief in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This builds a unique campus community where shared values and commitments strengthen faith and intellectual development. Students hold each other accountable in their commitment to grow spiritually. Many employees live close to campus, which offers the opportunity to form mentoring and discipling relationships with students. 

All this creates a community like no other: a place where you are seen and valued, encouraged and challenged to grow, and engaged in life-giving work.
