Mission Statement

As a Christian university which embraces its Baptist heritage and namesake, William Carey University provides quality educational programs, within a caring Christian academic community, which challenge the individual student to excel in scholarship, leadership, and service in a diverse global society.

Vision

William Carey University is a community of learners which seeks to blend faith and learning with living. Within this unique nurturing and challenging environment students prepare to fulfill their diverse callings in the larger global community.

The Carey Creed

"Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God."

Theme Verse

Each year William Carey University chooses an annual theme which focuses the university on a biblical concept. The theme for 2018-2019 is "Build Each Other Up" and is based on 1 Thessalonians 5:11. In the very first extant writing to the Christian Church, Paul recognized the importance of encouragement and support for one another. While Christians have a personal relationship with God, Christians are also one part of Body of Christ. Christianity was never meant to be lived in isolation nor to be kept merely private. We as a university are stronger, more accountable, and more effective together. Rebuilding from the tornado has further demonstrated the reality that we need each other and the importance of "building each other up." Because we were encouraged and built up, we encourage and build up others. At Carey, faculty are not just instructors who communicate information; faculty are mentors who build up students and give them the tools to answer God's calling. Further, in the present climate of negative news and criticism, we emphasize the guiding principles of reverence for God, respect for self, and regard for others.
