Lubbock Christian University was founded in 1957 by men and women who wanted Jesus to be the center of all things, including a vibrant education. Sixty-five years later, that same mission and message rings true on what was once a cotton field, now recognized as one of the most beautiful college campuses in Texas. But it is not the looks of this campus that matter. It is the hearts of the faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and friends that are the hands and feet of Jesus in the classroom, on the court, and throughout campus to our amazing students. This incredible place, this place that bears the name of Christ, this Holy ground….IT’S SO WORTH IT!
“Competing for Christ” is more than just the LCU athletic department slogan; those three words embody the desire of our coaches and athletes to fulfill our calling to excellence, in and out of competition, and to glorify God by representing our university; our effectiveness is not measured by or limited to the results on a scoreboard.
We believe that the personified Wisdom of God is Jesus Christ, in whom all truth is held together. This conviction enables us to view academic inquiry as a liberating pursuit of God within every discipline and to see every discipline as having theological bearing.
I am the person I am today because of my time at LCU. My life has been shaped by the loving community and the experiences offered at this great place. LCU has transformed me into someone I didn’t even know I could become. I am now confident in myself and in who God says I am.
We will send you a 2022 Historic Arnett House commemorative LCU Christmas ornament when you set up a recurring gift of any amount or a one-time gift of $100 or more.
