Crown College Mission Statement:
mission statement from http://www.crown.edu/about/mission-vision-values/
"The mission of Crown College is to provide a biblically based education for Christian leadership in The Christian and Missionary Alliance, the church-at-large, and the world.
The Crown College experience is more than just a degree-it is equipping students to do what they do best, whether that's being a nurse, a video technician, a teacher, a pastor, or a business leader. It means taking the skills, talents and passion that God has given to our students and showing them how to impact the world with those very skills and careers."
