感謝主的帶領，經過一年半的預備，基督書院終於在日前獲得教育部的同意，准予籌設「台北基督學院」，向立案之路又往前邁進一大步。
此次向教育部依「宗教研修學院設立辦法」提出籌設申請，乃是以堅持基督書院半世紀以來的辦校理念及使命為前提，要在台灣設立第一所純粹的基督教博雅教育的大學。我們強調信仰與學術的統合，不只是傳授專業技能，更要培養兼具備聖經世界觀的基督徒青年。本校於此鄭重聲明：我們不是神學院，本校教育的目的，不是訓練專業的傳道人才。而且「博雅教育」亦不是一般大專院校將之視為「通識課程」的代名詞；乃是「相信聖經是一切真理的最高至終權威」之基督教高等教育理念的統合性實現。
本校在學子的養成教育上，致力於培育學生具備「基督徒品格(Christian Character)、憐憫關懷心(Compassion)、溝通能力(Communication Skills)、批判思考能力(Critical Thinking)、創造力(Creativity)、合作能力(Cooperation)、專業技能(Competence in Professional Area)、貢獻社會(Contribution to Society)」等「８Ｃ」能力，以致畢業生在社會中能成為基督改變世界的福音使者，在教會與職場中能成為神國度的人才。
在主裡誠摯的感謝校友、家長、眾教會多年來的關愛、支持與代禱，請繼續為我們禱告，期望能在完成立案、招生等所有程序後，於今年九月開始招收第一屆立案的學生。願本校竭誠努力在主前，不違五十二年前，神藉著祂老僕人賈嘉美牧師創立本校的異象，及眾教會牧長、社會賢達人士對本校的託付與期望。
Thank the Lord for His guidance; after one and a half years of preparation, Christ’s College finally gained the Ministry of Education’s approval to establish “Taipei Christ’s College”, which is a big step forward towards official registration.
This time, Christ’s College submitted an application in compliance with the Ministry of Education’s “ Religious School Law” (宗教研修學院設立辦法). By doing so, we aim to establish the first Christian Liberal Art College in Taiwan, with the premises of maintaining the college’s governing values and mission statement that has been upheld for half a century. We emphasize the integration of faith and learning, not only providing professional education, but also fostering young Christians with Biblical worldview. Christ’s College hereby proclaims that this is not a seminary: the purpose of education at this college is not to train professional ministers. Additionally, “Liberal Arts” is not a substitute term for “General Courses” as many colleges assume; it is the unified employment of Christian higher educational philosophy, which believes that Scripture is the final authority of all truth.
Christ’s College strives to cultivate graduates who embody the “8 Cs” – “Christian Character, Compassion, Communication Skills, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Cooperation, Competence, and Contribution.” Thus, the graduates can become Christ’s ambassadors in society to help change the world, as they become servants of God’s kingdom in churches and professions.
In the Lord, we sincerely appreciate our alumni, parents, and various churches for years of support, and prayers. Please continue to pray for us. Hopefully after completion of MOE registration and recruiting procedures, the college will begin the enrollment of the first registered class this coming September. We hope that with great endeavor and sincere efforts, Christ’s College can live up to the vision Dr. James Graham had from God when he founded this school fifty-two years ago; and that the College will meet the expectations and gain the trust of church leaders of various churches and distinguished people in the society.
