The Jackson faculty excels in teaching and scholarship, sharing with students their passion for the wisdom and understanding of the Word of God, and it’s literal and practical application.

We value ethical conduct, the pursuit of truth and knowledge carried out in the spirit of intellectual freedom, diversity, and community engagement.
