Rosedale Bible College : Vision : Introduction

Perhaps you've heard that things are happening at Rosedale. It's true!

Our new president, Dan Ziegler, came to Rosedale 2005 with a mandate to lead the Rosedale Bible College community in a process of vision renewal, and it's been a high-energy affair.

After nine busy months, which included focused prayer and research, interviews with church and agency leaders, a vision retreat, task force meetings, and board deliberations, the following consensus emerged: Our vision as Rosedale College is to be a center for the advancement of an engaged and evangelical Anabaptist faith.

Specifically, the vision includes five points of focus:

Become an intellectual and spiritual gathering place for the evangelical Anabaptist faith community
Further a strong commitment to academic excellence
Provide students with experiences and training designed to develop practical ministry skills
Create a nurturing campus environment
Develop quality facilities and support services

Cost: $850,000

What will this calling look like? We believe Anabaptist Christianity has answers for a world in need of Christ's truth and love, and we invite you to join us as we equip our students to develop an active faith witness that is biblically grounded, centered on Jesus, and alive through uncompromising discipleship!

For a detailed explanation of the vision, please take a look at our vision brochure.
