Our Core Values

At Queens College of Theology, our core values guide everything we do,  from how we teach and learn to how we serve the Church and engage the world. These values reflect our commitment to academic excellence, faithful formation, and meaningful community.

The values that shape who you become.

Collaborative Teaching and Learning

Education at Queens College of Theology is a shared journey between faculty and students, marked by dialogue, mutual respect, and shared pursuit of understanding. We value collaboration that strengthens insight, sharpens thinking, and builds lasting relationships.

 

Freedom of Inquiry

Students are encouraged to engage ideas openly, wrestle with complex issues, and grow through inquiry. We believe faithful learning is strengthened, not threatened, by careful questioning, reflection, and dialogue.

 

Academic Excellence

Queens College of Theology upholds rigorous scholarship, clear expectations, and meaningful assessment. Our programs are designed to prepare students for ministry, leadership, and continued study with competence and confidence.

 

Intellectual Curiosity

We value a love of learning that lasts beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to cultivate curiosity, pursue deeper understanding, and remain lifelong learners. Intellectual curiosity allows leaders to grow, adapt, and serve faithfully in a changing world.

 

Critical Thinking

We prepare students to think carefully and responsibly. Through analysis, reflection, and evaluation, students learn to engage Scripture, theology, and culture with wisdom and discernment. Critical thinking equips leaders to navigate complexity while remaining grounded and thoughtful.

 

Integrity

We believe character matters. Integrity guides how we teach, learn, lead, and serve. We value honesty, accountability, and ethical conduct in both academic work and personal life. Formation at Queens College of Theology includes developing leaders whose lives reflect trustworthiness and humility.

 

Community and Global Engagement

We recognize our responsibility to both local and global communities. Queens College of Theology encourages engagement beyond the classroom: serving churches, organizations, and communities while remaining attentive to the Church. We believe faithful leadership considers both immediate needs and broader impact.

 

Diversity and Inclusiveness

We value the richness of God’s people. As a multidenominational community, we welcome diverse backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives. We believe learning is strengthened when voices are heard, experiences are respected, and community is built with intention and care.

 

Sustainability

Sustainability reflects our dedication to wise use of resources, long-term planning, and institutional practices that support future generations of students and leaders. We seek to steward well what has been entrusted to us.
