HOW YOUR GIFT SHAPES LIVES

Academic Excellence

Since 1963, Judson University has demonstrated a deep commitment to providing its students with the highest quality, Christian education. Over 80% of our teaching faculty hold a terminal degree in their discipline. What is more, every member of the faculty has a personal testimony of their faith in Jesus Christ and are active in their local church. At Judson, not only do students learn the very best in their discipline of study, they are also challenged to grow in their faith in Christ. Through your support of Judson University, you have a part in ensuring that Judson’s tradition of providing academic excellence and Christian principles will continue to impact students today and in the future.

Christian Leadership

Watch, listen or read the local news and you soon realize that we are in the midst tough challenges. These challenges are impacting families, businesses, churches, non profit organizations and governmental agencies on the local, national and global levels. As our national leaders look for solutions to these challenges, Judson University is busy training the finest Christian leaders who, through their education at Judson, will serve as the next generation of leaders to provide the solutions to the challenges we are facing today. Christian Leaders trained at Judson University have the academic training and the Christian knowledge necessary to lead their families, organizations and possibly the nation, forward.

The Light of the World

Judson University’s motto “Christus lux mundi” or “Christ the light of the world” is an important part of Judson’s culture. Upon completing a degree at Judson University, graduates are taught to go out into the world following Christ’s example and shine. Alumni have demonstrated Christ’s light in many fields. Some have become business leaders, others have become educators, many enter the ministry, still more have become architects. Judson Alumni have the distinction of being leaders in their field who shine for Christ, wherever they end up. Through your support of Judson University, you are investing in the lives of a future alumnus or alumna who will go forward and impact the world for Christ.

Fuel the Future of Judson Athletics

At Judson University, athletics is more than competition—it’s a calling. Through our 22 sports programs, student-athletes are challenged to grow in character, faith, and leadership. Our commitment to excellence is rooted in five foundational pillars: competition, education, relationships, spiritual growth, and community.

Your financial support helps us live out this mission every day. With your gift, we can provide enhanced training, facilities, mentorship, and opportunities that shape our athletes into leaders who glorify God through their work, relationships, and impact on the world. Give today—and be part of something bigger than the game.

Why I Give

“I give to Judson for several reasons. First, to promote my Christian faith especially through education of young people. Second, because Judson made a profound impact on me personally during my studies – I learned a lot. The professors invested in me and made me better, and I now have a new set of tools to augment the tools and skills I had already learned. Finally, I have a passion for education. I am always learning, and I want to help make it possible for others to continue to learn. Judson is doing a lot of things right, and has the plans in place to do a lot more ‘right things.’ I’m so pleased to give back and help others.”
