About Clearwater Christian College

Located on a 138 acre property on Tampa Bay, Clearwater Christian College is home to over 600 undergraduate students pursuing a distinct Bible-based Christian education in a liberal arts environment. In the summer 2008, the College began its first graduate program in the area of Educational Leadership. We are regionally accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The college is not affiliated with any major denominational groups, adhering solely to the fundamental truths found in the Word of God.

Mission Statement

Clearwater Christian College exists to provide an excellent liberal arts education centered on God's Word, with a focus on challenging students to love God wholly, to know Him intimately, and to serve Him fervently; educating men and women to minister faithfully and humbly with evangelistic zeal as they impact eternity for Jesus Christ in every avenue of life.

Doctrinal Statement

The Word of God is the foundation from which we operate. To understand where we stand on key issues from the scriptures, please consider our doctrinal statement and spiritual distinctives.

Life-to-Life Learning

In fulfillment of our mission, Clearwater Christian College provides an education that values scholarship, discipleship, and servant-leadership. We desire that our students seek truth through the light of the holy scriptures and have a deep and abiding love relationship with their Saviour. From this relationship comes not just an obligation to serve God and mankind but a passion to impact the world for eternity. These core values are delivered in carefully orchestrated objectives that are communicated from faculty-to our students-to those God leads into their lives.
