The Movement of SCC’s Mission and Vision
The Upward Call: The Larger Story
A Leading Christ-Centered College
Faithful to Evangelical Christianity
Grounded on God’s Word
The Inward Call: The Life of the Heart
Foster Intellectual and Character Development
Nurture Relationships with God and Others
The Outward Call: The Way of Grace and Freedom
Challenge People to Engage Culture
Serve Christ with Passion
The relevance of this course to SCC’s mission and vision lies in the fact that nowhere on earth can the larger story of God be told more effectively than in the land of Jesus, the God-man. There, also, the life of the heart may be addressed as students worship and seek the presence of God. And the way of grace and freedom is nowhere more needed than in a place wish such a history of death and violence. The gospel of Christ impacts the cultures of the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian worlds that live in constant tension with one another.

Four important rules to remember in order to avoid plagiarizing something:
• Your instructor is your best resource if you have any questions regarding whether or not your information is documented accurately.
• Put an in-text citation at the end of any idea or fact which you found in a book or article, whether or not you change the words.
• Exact quotations should either be put in quotation marks or indented and an in-text citation should be used to indicate the source
• When in doubt, go ahead and document the source.
*Important note: Documenting sources helps your reader find more information as well as helping you avoid plagiarism. Gannon, Jack. The Week the World Heard Gallaudet. Washington, D.C.: Gallaudet University Press, 1989 (modified BB 1/05).
