Many people -- students and their parents alike -- may assume that faith is an inherent aspect of life at a private Christian college or university. Perhaps in some ways it is -- through chapel worship, campus Bible studies, and local and international mission service opportunities. But some faith expressions could be taken for granted and faith itself may not deepen. Higher education institutions that serve Baptists in Missouri want to assist students to deepen their faith and to see its life imprint beyond religiosity, denominationalism or religious activity.

Missouri's state-supported institutions recognize the role faith plays and provide opportunities for faith expression.
