Our Mission
STCU aspires to be a University characterized by its commitment to equip students to discover and answer God’s call in their lives.
STCU achieves this vision through academic excellence and faithful stewardship in a Christ-centered community that develops purposeful graduates.
Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible is inspired by God, is the ultimate source of wisdom and truth, and is fully sufficient to guide our lives on earth and to prepare us for eternal life with God. As human beings, we do not fully understand the mind of God. Therefore, we seek to be diligent and humble students of the scriptures, always learning and growing in the likeness of Christ.
School History
Saint Thomas Christian University was originally named Saint Thomas Institute. The college was founded by Dr. Charles Pearson in Chicago, IL in 1966. It was Dr. Pearson’s vision that Saint Thomas became an international training ground for young ministers of the gospel. Bolstered by an enrollment of over 200 students the college changed its name to Saint Thomas Bible College in 1981. In 1985 Dr. Pearson began to realize his dream of becoming an international college by Expanding Saint Thomas with the satellite campus program.
