Our MISSION is to equip and train Christian faculty, administrators, students, and other leaders in public and private higher education institutions to restore biblical foundations of Truth through the integration and extension of a Christian worldview centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our research, teaching, and leadership.
We have four main CHANNELS that support our mission, including (1) professional development and training through workshops/ conferences and curriculum development; (2) peer-reviewed publishing through books (Integratio Press), and our journal (Journal of Christian Teaching Practice); (3) Truth Forums on campuses and their surrounding communities; and (4) Higher Education Policy Reform.
Our PARTNERS include several campus ministry groups, faculty, administrators, and influencers working to bring biblical truth to higher education. We continue to grow partners who share a similar higher education mission and are interested in collaborating on special projects and events. As our support grows, we will be in the position to provide grants, scholarships, and other short-term support for like-minded partners committed to furthering our restoration mission.
Our LEADERSHIP TEAM includes forty-one (41) faculty, administrators, and thought leaders from twenty-two (22) Christian colleges and universities and fifteen (15) public/secular institutions of higher learning. These individuals serve as: (1) executive editors with Integratio Press, and the Journal of Christian Teaching Practice; (2) curriculum advisors, trainers, and developers with the Nehemiah Institute; (3) organizers and facilitators of Truth Forums on college campuses and surrounding communities; and (4) university policy consultants and advisors to individuals and groups seeking fair policies for Christian academics wherever they may work.
