Christian Formation

Honor God and serve others

For Christians, faith and learning are inseparable. At JBU, you'll be encouraged to follow Jesus and serve others in all areas of life.

Be salt and light.

How will my faith be encouraged at JBU?

Hear from students and the director of Christian formation

At JBU, you'll grow to better understand yourself, your relationships and your goals in light of God's call on your life. As you grow in faith, you'll be challenged to explore what it means to be an active participant in God's redemptive work in the world.

Belong to a unique interdenominational community

Because JBU is not affiliated with a particular denomination, our students and professors come from a variety of Christian traditions. That interdenominational culture offers a beautiful and unique opportunity for you to broaden your understanding of what it means to follow Christ. JBU is a safe place to ask hard questions, seek truth and grow in love and commitment to Jesus.
