Mission Statement

Our mission is to help all Eastern University students see God’s hand in creating and upholding life.  Recruitment and retention of a diverse student population is an important aspect of our calling.  We acknowledge biokinetics, the study of human movement, exercise, and sport, as a valid and important academic pursuit; a preparation for careers in the allied health and fitness profession.  We recognize exercise to be therapy, occupational work, sports and recreation.  It is an appropriately healthy way to personally care for the temple of the Holy Spirit.  It is the primary therapeutic and preventative tool for many diseases and injuries.  Our deliberate promotion of healthy lifestyles, including regular physical activity, endorses a physical robustness that honors God.  The breadth and depth of our traditional liberal arts curriculum prepares our students to embrace and nourish the life of the mind.  Our goal, therefore, is to prepare the whole to serve God through the biokinetic sciences.
 

Glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s
1 Corinthians 6:20
