Our Mission Statement

EUCON International University exists to provide quality biblical education in a Christ-honoring and Spirit-filled environment so that students may be introduced to Jesus Christ, trained in godly character and spiritual discipline, and equipped to be Christian slave-stewards in their societies and reach their homelands for Christ in order to fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples of all nations for Jesus Christ.

Institutional Goals and Objectives

The EIU Mission Statement encapsulates the following objectives of the institution:

1. To instruct our students in the liberal arts and specialized disciplines in accordance with the highest academic standards within the framework of Holy Scripture.

2. To provide students from China and other Asian countries the opportunity to learn English and pursue degrees at an American institution.

3.  As   a   Fundamentalist   institution   committed   to   biblical

principles of doctrine and practice, to inculcate Scriptural truth and counter the cults, Liberalism, the Ecumenical Movement, the Charismatic Movement, and Neo- Evangelicalism as   well   as   other   false   religions   and ideologies.

4. To foster a Spirit–filled environment that will help enable students to walk in holiness as they grow in their relationship with Christ. Hence, the University seeks in all of its curricularand extra-curricular activities to train young people to think what Christ would think, say what Christ would say, and do what Christ would do.

5. To proclaim the Gospel to non–Christian students so that they  may  have  a  saving  knowledge  of  the  Lord  Jesus Christ.

6.  To instill godly character and Christ–like discipline in our students so as to aid them in living victorious Christian lives and in serving effectively as Christian workers and lay– persons in non-Christian societies.

7. To give students skills that are necessary for effectiveness in their chosen professions.

8. The Teacher Education Program at EUCON International University is designed to equip future teachers with foundational Biblical knowledge and to aid them in the development of Christ–like character. EUCON International University strives to offer high quality teacher training and excellent Biblical education for future servants of Christ.

9. The purpose of the Master of Arts in Theology degree is to provide a basic understanding of theological disciplines for further graduate/postgraduate studies and to strengthen the student’s understanding of Bible doctrine which will increase confidence in the Scriptures, expand student’s knowledge of God, and develop a realistic view of humanity to prepare students for ministry, particularly in an Asian context.

Our Purpose

The essential purpose of EUCON International University is to teach our students to know how to live, instead of teaching them to know how to make a living. Thus, our purpose is to help our students to take on the image of Christ.

The center of our training focuses upon how to live a godly, mature, and Christ-like life. We emphasize holiness and a godly walk with Christ daily. We instruct our students not only to do all for the glory of God, but also to obey God’s Word, follow God’s will, and do God’s work in God’s way.

EUCON International University is a uniquely religious, educational institution that seeks to provide a quality Christian education in a distinctly Christian environment. One of the goals of EUCON International University is to work with parents and guardians to train Christian young men and women to be salt and light in their communities. EUCON International University believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and sets forth absolute truth by which Christians are to live. EUCON International University expects  and  requires  both  students  and  parents  to support the school and university in their distinct mission and in their Biblical beliefs. In relying on the teachings of the Scriptures, EUCON International University believes that the Bible prohibits sexual immorality of any type, including but not limited to pornography, homosexuality, or any other sexual activity outside the marriage of one man and one woman. On those occasions in which a particular home or student is acting counter to or in opposition to the Biblical beliefs and  lifestyle  that  the  university  teaches,  the  university reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse admission to an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a current student. This includes, but is not limited to, living in, condoning, or supporting any form of sexual immorality; practicing or promoting a homosexual lifestyle or  alternative  gender  identity;  or  otherwise  having  the inability to support the moral principles of the university as stated throughout this catalog.

Our Statement of Faith

I. THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Bible, all sixty-six books, is the Word of God; that it was written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit so that their writings in the original languages were supernaturally and verbally inspired and free from error, as no other writings have ever been or will be. The Bible is the complete and final revelation of the will of God to man and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith, conduct, and living, and thus renders as unnecessary and unbiblical any further prophetic revelations or apostolic signs.

We believe the full historicity and perspicuity of the biblical record of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel.

II. THE TRUE GOD

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God the Father—We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, boundless in love, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ, His Son. We believe that He is the creator of the whole universe, including the creation of humans, all creation, and all the creatures of this world in six solar days.  

God the Son—We believe in Jesus Christ, God the Son, pre‑existent with the Father.  We believe in Christ’s perfect, complete humanity and full and absolute deity. He is indissolubly united in one divine-human person, begotten by the Holy Spirit, miraculously conceived and born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in His nature and life, and infallible in His teaching. He made atonement for the sins of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people and His glorious second advent according to His promise.

God the Spirit—We believe in the deity and personality of God the Holy Spirit.  We believe that He came from God to convince and convict the world of sin; to reprove the world of righteousness and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, indwell, comfort, and empower those who believe in Jesus Christ.

III. MAN

We believe that man was created in the image of God on the sixth literal day of the beginning of the world. He sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God.  We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and those who reach the age of accountability become sinners in thought and deed by choice.

IV. SATAN

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, who is the adversary of God and His children.  He was originally created by God, but fell from heaven.  His destiny is determined; he will be cast into the Lake of Fire.

V. SALVATION AND ASSURANCE

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. As a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, He offers salvation to all who by faith receive Him as their personal Savior, are justified on the ground of His blood shed on Calvary and His resurrection from the dead, and are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become the children of God.  We believe in the eternal security of the believer.

VI. THE CHURCH

We believe in the visible local church, which is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship and fellowship.  We believe that to these visible churches was committed for perpetual observance, two ordinances:  the baptism of believers and the Lord’s Supper.  We believe that God has laid upon these churches the tasks of preaching the Gospel to every creature, and edifying the individual members of the Body of Christ.

VII. LAST THINGS

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead—the saved to eternal life and blessedness in Heaven and the unsaved to eternal, conscious suffering and woe in Hell.  We believe that the blessed hope of the believer is the personal, premillennial and pretribulational return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to rapture His church and the return of his saints to establish His millennial reign after the tribulation.

VIII. CHURCH AND STATE

We believe that every human being has a direct relationship with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith. We also believe that each church is independent and autonomous, and must be free from any interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; therefore, the church and state must be kept separate, with each fulfilling its duties without the dictation and patronage of the other.

IX. CHRISTIAN LIVING

We believe that every saved person should manifest the Christian life through a consistent walk in the Holy Spirit, fully and constantly yielding his members to the indwelling Christ. In this way, he may always by life and word show forth the praises of Him who has called him out of darkness into His marvelous light. We believe in a separated life, including but not limited to separation from worldly alliances, worldly pleasures, worldly systems of work, and secret societies. Thus, we believe that God’s children should be separated from sin, the world, false teachers, and disobedient brethren. This includes separation from theological liberalism, neo-evangelicalism, neo-orthodoxy, ecumenism, the charismatic movement, and other unbiblical movements. We believe that it is the responsibility of every Christian to evangelize the lost throughout the world according to the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

X. BIBLICAL CREATIONISM

Based on the Scriptures, we believe God created the heavens and the earth. God created all things in this space-time universe, including all of its basic systems and organisms, in six literal days. We also believe that God created man in His own image.

Philosophy of Education

The philosophy of education at EUCON International University is both Christian and traditional in its approach. We believe in the teacher–directed method of education. Our system is based on absolute truths. All truth is biblically–based and from God. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, and inspired, divine  Word  of  God, the  only  supreme and  final  authority in  all matters of life. The Bible is not just the true and final authority on the issues of faith and conduct; it is the final authority in ALL matters. Indeed, “all matters” includes every subject, area of study, and academic field. We also believe that the Bible is the only solid foundation for education because God’s Word is the sole standard of absolute truth. Thus, the necessity and value of all courses, subjects, and lessons in our university will be substantiated by the Scriptures. Since God is the Source of all truth, He has revealed Himself in three ways, namely: the Living Word (the personal revelation), the Word of God (the written revelation), and Nature (the general revelation).
