Introduction to Baldwin International Christian University (BICU)
Baldwin International Christian University (BICU) is a liberal arts institution that transforms peoples lives through the process of education thus enabling them to experience a better quality of life. Not only does this institution enhance change on the micro level but it also fosters change on the macro level through economic, social, political and spiritual paradigm shifts in society. This it done through: 1) its spiritual Christo-centric foundations, 2) its research-oriented approach to education, 3) its love for people above policies or things, and, 4) its unabashed prophetic confrontation to the negative dehumanizing forces in society.
To this end, BICU fosters in its students an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a researchoriented posture within a Christ-centered matrix. BICU is non-denominational and multidenominational hence it welcomes students from all religious or non-religious persuasions. Persons from non-Christian backgrounds and religions are welcomed to study with us as they are willing to respect the Christ-centered orientation of BICU.
For its initial roll-out, BICU currently offers programs in Religion, Religion & Politics, Church Administration. Our Religion & Politics degree is unique to BICU and geared to prepare individuals to function within the arena of governmental leadership in their societies with a solid understanding of the interrelationship between ethics, politics and religion. This is a distinctive competence of BICU. It must be observed however, that BICU does NOT advocate partisan politics./b All our programs are offered online in the virtual and online formats.
The Baldwin’s Biblical Manuscript Research Institute & Bible Museum (BBMRI) is the first institute of this university. This facility offers education and research opportunities in the Greek and Hebrew manuscript history of the Biblical text. This facility among other things, provides an indepth knowledge of the science and art of how the Bible became a book.
BICU is in its initial growth stage and resident in its DNA are the genes of a wide array of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate degrees. The growth is now in progress to these ends and you are invited to participate in this exciting journey. Remember, the real pleasure and satisfaction of the destination is in the journey. I welcome your prayers, financial support and well-wishes.
