Five commitments that shape this community.

They show up in the chapel, the classroom and the office. Every member of the SCU community — staff, faculty and student — is asked to embody them.

• We are a Christian institution — Scripture sits at the centre of every discipline.
• Accountable, honest and transparent — in finances, governance and academic conduct.
• Committed to quality, servant-oriented results — we measure success by the leaders we form.
• Loving, caring and responsive — we are a family that knows its students by name.
• Committed to excellence and stewardship — of God's gifts and resources entrusted to us.

As a community of Christians who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we affirm our belief in:

• i. The Trinity of God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — Creator and Preserver of all things.
• ii. The deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death, bodily resurrection and ascension.
• iii. The deity and personality of God the Holy Spirit and His work within the believer.
• iv. The divine, verbal inspiration and final authority of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.
• v. Salvation by grace through faith, the necessity of the new birth, and the eternal security of the believer.
