Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is "grace and truth," which comes from John 1.14 : And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (ESV)
CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

We envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world in their callings.
CCU’s embraces an educational model that was there at the foundation of many of the great western and American universities.
It is made up of three pillars competence, character, and Christ-centered faith. Secular universities have abandoned two of those pillars.
We think this is a major oversight that eventually undermines education. Furthermore, we believe this classical educational model is both life-giving and greatly needed in our time.
