CEBA is a community of believers dedicated to the development of leaders in the
Body of Christ. So that the Body is built up in love (cf. Ephesians
4:16) faculty, staff, and students encourage one another to be conformed
to the image of Christ (cf. Romans 8:29). The primary model for relationships
should be Jesus’ command to love one another (cf. John 15:12), which
works itself out in full expression as the fruits of the Spirit: love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control (cf. Galatians 5:22, 23).
This community commits
itself to live in unity, to put aside any
deception or slander, and to edify one another to develop the fundamental
attitudes and character
necessary for leaders in the church and in
the world (cf. Psalm 133; Philippians 2:1-4; Ephesians 4:1-5:21).
In keeping with this commitment,
Scripture compels us to voluntarily abstain
from behaviors that are illegal, immoral, or unethical. (See the
Code of Conduct in the Student
Handbook for examples of such
behaviors.)
