Mission & Vision

The mission of the Andreas Center is to advance the development and influence of Reformational thought and its service to God's kingdom by broadening the generational and geographical impact of Dordt University.

Our global vision as a Reformed, Christian college is what captured the imagination of Lowell, and his estate gift will further our efforts to broaden Dordt's service, learning, and presence in the world.

Consistent with this vision, the Andreas Center is where Dordt University does Christian scholarship in public for the common good of the academy, the church, and society.
