Why does Crown offer this program? Crown College has a reputation for providing Christ-centered, quality education. Many of our students train to be missionaries and pastors. Many go into teaching, nursing, and business - with the foundational knowledge of Biblical ethics and leadership. By partnering with churches, we want to encourage students to attend Crown and encourage an ongoing relationship with their home church. The program is for students, their church, and for Crown College with Christ as the Cornerstone.
