AMBROSE UNIVERSITY
OUR MISSION
Ambrose University prepares men and women for wise, joyful and redemptive engagement in the church, society and the created order through excellent Christian post-secondary education.
VISION
Ambrose University is a community of transformative Christian higher education – with a vision for the welfare of our city and our world.
OUR VALUES
Christian Faith
We believe that Christ is the centre of what we do. We are ecumenically minded, broadly evangelical, and rooted in the holiness traditions of The Alliance of Canada and the Church of the Nazarene.
Pursuing Excellence
We encourage intellectual curiosity, promoting conversations about difficult issues that are marked by both courage and charity. We provide high-quality education as well as cocurricular experiences pursuing excellence in all that we do.
Holistic Formation
We assert that Ambrose is a place where students develop virtues, grow in character, acquire life skills, and prepare for future vocations. We wrestle together with the hard questions of life and faith.
Service
We strive to integrate faith and active service to the world. We commit to shaping servant leaders who will honour Christ in their vocations. We shape culture through our scholarship, research, and artistic expression.
Community
We believe that spiritual, personal, and academic development is best accomplished within the context of a Christian community that worships and glorifies God. We collaborate to foster a welcoming, hospitable, generous, just, and truth-telling community that strives to fulfill the university’s mission. We seek the welfare of students, one another, and the external community.
