OurMission:

As an institution of higher education committed to the Reformed Christian perspective, the mission of Dordt College is to equip students, alumni and the broader community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal in all aspects of contemporary life.

A Kingdom Perspective

We believe that Scripture and creation reveal a sovereign God. Nothing exists without him; all things are under his control and find their goal and purpose in his glory. The creation is God’s kingdom.

The Bible also tells us that God created us in his image. God covenantally binds us to him by his law and calls for our loving obedience.

Though called to develop and care for God’s world, after Adam’s fall into sin we began to treat it as an object of exploitation. Rather than serving the King, people abandoned themselves and the rest of creation to division and strife, misery and death.

But God came with his word of grace, reclaiming his world through the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Even though the effects of the fall will continue until he returns, Christ has rescued the creation from the curse of sin, and he reigns as king over all. He summons those he has redeemed to work to establish his kingdom everywhere.

Dordt College is owned and controlled by an incorporated society composed primarily of members of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA). It is governed by a board of trustees made up of 39-46 persons. The board includes members elected by the society who represent geographical areas in the CRC and at-large members representing the broader Reformed evangelical community. Dordt College has enjoyed the committed and faithful support of a loyal constituency for half a century.
