Montreat College is a Christian liberal arts educational institution committed to the integration of faith and learning. Through our focus on faith, we seek to glorify Jesus Christ, to reflect His image, to serve His Church and to encourage faith development in students. Through our focus on learning, we seek to educate the mind and challenge the spirit, to discern truth, to communicate effectively, and to become agents of renewal and reconciliation in the world. Through faith and learning we seek to encourage students to discover the call of God in every sphere of life.

Approaching the integration of faith and learning from an informed, biblical perspective, faculty, staff, and students form a Christian community of learners that seeks to pursue the premise that all truth is God’s truth and explores the significance of this in the various academic disciplines. We are committed to a thorough exploration of and complementary relationship between biblical truth and academic inquiry. We openly embrace students of all cultures, races, and faiths in an atmosphere of academic excellence, intellectual inquiry, and Christian love.
