Admissions


What happens when...

Seemingly opposite ideals like:

  • faith and intellect
  • work and play
  • discipline and imagination
  • harmony and difference

coexist at a Christian College?

You begin to see anew.

Students who come to Messiah College enter a Christian microcosm, coming together from many different places and many different Christian backgrounds to learn, worship, and live together.

Each student brings a rich perspective — his or her own color — and, at Messiah, those colors are celebrated, appreciated, and allowed to remain distinct. In the grace of our shared love of Christ, in our worship, study, and service, and in friendly gatherings and thoughtful conversations, our separate, vibrant colors are crafted together like a strong and splendid stained glass window.

And the insight that is born in everyone is the light that shines through.
