Thank You for Your Interest in St. Michaels Christian University

If you sense the call of God upon your life, desire formal biblical and theological training, or are seeking to become better equipped for Christian ministry and leadership, we invite you to prayerfully consider St. Michaels Christian University (SMCU).

St. Michaels Christian University was established upon the vision and spiritual foundation of our Founder, Dr. Charles Ray Hill, who believed that Christian education should do more than provide academic knowledge—it should prepare men and women to fulfill the call of God upon their lives.

Today, under the leadership of our President, Dr. Charles E. Bell, St. Michaels Christian University remains committed to preserving that founding vision while preparing a new generation of Spirit-filled, biblically grounded, academically equipped Christian leaders to serve the Church and advance the Kingdom of God.

Our Continuing Vision

1. SMCU Is Mission-Oriented

Our mission extends beyond the classroom. We prepare students for practical ministry and Christian leadership.

Whether God is calling you to plant a new church, revitalize an existing congregation, serve in pastoral ministry, evangelism, missions, Christian education, or other areas of Kingdom leadership, our programs are designed to provide the biblical foundation and practical preparation necessary to answer that call.

We believe theological education should not simply produce graduates—it should produce servant-leaders who are prepared to impact churches, communities, and the world for Jesus Christ.

2. SMCU Acknowledges the Central Role of the Holy Spirit

St. Michaels Christian University is committed to academic excellence and serious study of the Word of God. We seek qualified instructors who can guide our students through Scripture, theology, ministry, leadership, and Christian service.

Yet, we also recognize something fundamental to our identity:

The Holy Spirit remains the Chief Teacher of the Church.

Jesus declared:

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
— John 14:26 (NKJV)

Therefore, at SMCU, we believe scholarship and spiritual formation belong together. We seek to educate the mind while cultivating the spirit, preparing students who know the Word of God and are sensitive to the leading and empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

Honoring the Vision. Advancing the Mission.

The vision entrusted to Dr. Charles Ray Hill continues.

Under the leadership of Dr. Charles E. Bell, President, St. Michaels Christian University enters its next chapter with a renewed commitment to biblical truth, Spirit-filled ministry, academic preparation, church planting, church revitalization, and Kingdom leadership.

Our foundation remains strong.

Our mission continues.

And our vision remains focused upon preparing men and women to answer the call of God and faithfully serve this present generation.
