OUR MISSION
FROM THE PAST
INTO YOUR FUTURE
“Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16-17
MISSION STATEMENT
As a nondenominational Christian institution, Hartwell University® (HU) provides willing learners with the understanding, skills, and training necessary for the lifelong unfolding and accomplishment of their God-given purposes. The University achieves this mission through a character-based, liberal arts education that is rooted in a biblical worldview and the Judeo-Christian traditions of Western society that are the underpinnings of morality, liberty, equality, and the rule of law.
“Hartwell” is translated from the Old English words heort + wella as “spring or stream frequented by deer.” The hart is an ancient and modern symbol of Christ and the Church and is often depicted in iconography with wells and fountains which symbolize the waters of baptism, springs of life, and the river that flowed from Eden and the throne of God in Genesis 2:10 and Revelation 22:1.
“We are too young to realize that certain things are impossible…So we will do them anyway.” — William Wilberforce
