- Knowledge that all men are sinners and can have salvation only through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. (Titus 3:5, 6)
- Development (after coming to know Christ) of a consistent Christian life through prayer and daily Bible study. (I Peter 2:2)
- Desire to invest one's life in Christian service to the glory of God. (Colossians 1:9, 10).
II. To maintain a HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARD through:
