About CCU    

Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world-class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.    

Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is "grace and truth," which comes from John 1.14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (ESV)    

CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

About CCU     
    
Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.     
Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is“grace and truth.” This motto comes from John 1.14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (ESV)      
    
CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

CCU’s embraces an educational model that was there at the foundation of many of the great western and American universities.  It is made up of three pillars—competence, character and Christ-centered faith.
