Christian Emphasis

Sterling College is a Christ-centered institution. This is foundational to who we are and is woven into the very fabric of life on campus. Our life together is a life where we seek to know God better, understand our identity as God’s children, and embrace the callings that God has for us. Growing in knowledge, faith and action are all important as students are prepared for service and leadership during their time at Sterling. We believe that the most effective way to witness and serve the world around you is by modeling your principles after the one who gave His life away to save sinners like us: Jesus Christ.
