Educational Approaches
In order to cultivate a global citizen with a humble heart, compassionate spirit, and commitment to justice, Chang Jung Christian University's life education emphasizes holistic education and holistic ministry, which form an all-around educational approach.
Holistic education focuses on the integral education of individuals, balancing physical, mental, and spiritual states, integrating knowledge and life, shaping lives, and teaching individuals how to live with respect for heaven, love for others, care for the environment, and the ability to act with wisdom. Therefore, holistic education not only teaches knowledge but also shapes lives to cultivate the necessary strength to interact with society.
Holistic ministry emphasizes pastoral care and sees individuals as whole beings. This approach views the pastoral care of students' lives as similar to how Jesus tended to His flock of disciples as a shepherd, patiently feeding, caring for, and watching over them. In Chang Jung Christian University's life education, pastoral care and holistic education work together to reproduce the way Jesus tended to His flock and care for students' lives. The university aims to accompany, converse with, counsel, and care for students with love, encouraging them to integrate knowledge and life, understand the integration of knowledge and action, pursue truth, and show love, thus strengthening their vitality and maturity to care for others, society, and the ecological environment, identifying with the local community while connecting with the world to fulfill their responsibilities as global citizens.
