Although students at ENC may hold a variety of values and convictions, students, through their decision to enroll in the College, commit to this mutual, enduring covenant with one another:
By choosing to join the Eastern Nazarene College community, I recognize this institution’s call to be faithful followers of Christ by seeking to know, love, and serve God, respect the dignity of fellow members of the community and serve the world.
I cherish life as a gift and accept the duty to nurture self-understanding, personal integrity, and authenticity in all that I do.
I commit to live a life filled with grace pursuing the ideals of reconciliation, justice, and charity.
I will embrace the Christian responsibilities of a shared life together, offering service without expectation of return, remaining loyal amidst difficulty, holding myself accountable to my peers and building upon the Christian foundation of this college and its Nazarene heritage.
I acknowledge that as a member of this community I agree to:
- Honor and respect the high value placed on personal and community holistic spiritual development, including weekly chapel attendance.
- Honor and respect the dignity of all persons by choosing to live in harmony with my peers.
- Honor and respect myself by abstaining from lifestyle choices which fail to support my physical and spiritual growth and development, treating my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit by abstaining from sexual impurity, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and any behavior harmful to my body.
- Adhere to core values of honesty and integrity both academically and personally.
- Respect the property of others (world, community, and individual).
- Engage in being a contributing member of this community and show concern for the conditions which support the learning and development of myself and others.
