6. Philosophy of the University
(1)According to the Church of the Nazarene Manual 1995, the mandate for higher education institutions by the Church of the Nazarene is to inculcate the value and dignity of human life, and provide an environment in which people can be redeemed and enriched intellectually, spiritually and physically, that is made holy, useful to the master and prepared to do any good work (2 Timothy 2: 21).(2)The philosophy of Africa Nazarene University is based on Christian principles, which are in harmony with the doctrine of the Church of the Nazarene. Therefore, the operations of Africa Nazarene University are guided by tenets which accept that—(a)a Christian philosophy of education rests upon an understanding of holy living;(b)education is one of the pillars of Christian life that is essential for discipleship;(c)education is the process of enabling a student to be transformed into an integrated, intelligent individual that Christ wants him or her to be;(d)the integration of faith and learning nurtures students toward intellectual maturity and moral integrity while at the same time instilling the desire to become life-long learners (the Church of Nazarene Manual, 1995).
