"In Christo Omnia Nova" serves as the motto for Providence Christian College. Directly translated from the Latin it means simply "in Christ all things new," though there is a lot packed into this little phrase without a verb. It derives biblical warrant from several passages in the New Testament that describe Jesus Christ's reconciling work in the world (II Cor. 5:17; I Cor. 15:22; Col. 1:15-23; Rev. 21:5), and it serves as a constant reminder both of the work that Providence is about and the One who is accomplishing that work. At the core of our mission stands the fact that God is reconciling this fallen world to Himself through the death and resurrection of his son, Jesus Christ. This work begins with his redemption of sinners like us, and--in His time and by His power--extends to the restoration of a world that groans under the weight of our sin. At Providence, we are equipping students to know and trust in Christ's redemptive work in their own lives, to embrace the truths of His word (which we believe to be so well articulated in the Reformed confessions), and to work out the implications of those truths for every dimension of life as they move on to faithfully pursue their callings in this world.
