Messiah's tradition of careful and responsible fiscal and resource management remains critical to our future. Stewardship of limited resources requires careful planning with attention to shaping financial commitments, facilities development and personnel assignments in keeping with programmatic priorities. Continuing dependence upon tuition-generated revenue adds further stewardship responsibility. In order to assure that the College will be as financially accessible as possible yet increasingly excellent simultaneously, Messiah must continually increase giving by major donors, philanthropic organizations and other friends of Christian college education. Evidence of faithful stewardship is basic to such generosity.
Human resources are ultimately the most essential contributor to a quality education experience.
Messiah must continue to provide effectively for the well-being and growth of all its employees, assuring appropriate responsibilities and adequate compensation. Messiah must also continually refine its administrative systems for efficiency and responsiveness to the College's mission and program priorities, improve its support and services to students towards nurturing their God-given gifts, and ensure adequate and appropriate physical and technological facilities and service levels to both staff and students. The College has been blessed with extensive and excellent resources which have facilitated its recent growth, both in quality and quantity of programs and personnel. We recognize these as gifts from God. Messiah is committed to honor God through continuing faithful stewardship.
