- Welcome Message for Prospective Students
WELCOME TO HEBRON – Where Kings and Queens are Raised
Dear Future Leader,
It is an honor to welcome you to Hebron Christian University.
In the biblical tradition, Hebron was more than just a city; it was a place of preparation. It was where the Patriarchs were laid to rest in hope, and where King David was first anointed to lead. It represents the bridge between a promise given and a promise fulfilled.
At HCU, we believe your education should follow that same divine pattern. Our mission is to provide you with a “City of Refuge”—a supportive, accessible community—where your talents are refined and your spirit is strengthened. Whether you are joining us online or on-campus, you are not just a student; you are a leader in training, called to make a lasting impact in your community and the world.
We are committed to your success through academic excellence, personalized mentorship, and a deep-rooted focus on your spiritual growth. Your journey toward your calling starts here.
Welcome to the lineage of excellence. Welcome to Hebron.
Blessings,
Dr. Bankole Jefferson DD, PhD
Chancellor, Hebron Christian University
