Welcome Bluejays!

I am extremely excited that you are a part of the Tabor College community! I look forward to meeting you soon. We are all in this together and my hope is that we can make this year an unforgettable experience.

During this upcoming year, I encourage you to get involved, embrace change, anticipate growth and cultivate meaningful relationships. These four elements will allow for a transformational, impactful and memorable experience during your time at Tabor College.

Jays up!

Christ-centeredThe primary value of Tabor College is its desire to be a Christ-centered school. All activities and programs flow out of this value and are evaluated in reference to it. The Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith provides the biblical and theological foundation for Tabor.

LearningThe purpose of Tabor is to promote learning. We recognize that learning occurs in informal settings, in the classroom and in organized field experiences. Our goal is to develop students who are broadly educated, competent and well-rounded, who embrace the joy of learning.

InvolvementWe believe that being engaged and involved increases learning. Participation, both in and outside of the formal classroom, is an effective way to prepare students for a life of work and service.

CommunityTabor values community. We desire our school to be a place where individuals feel like they belong, where there is a sense of mutual support and students hold each other accountable.

ServiceService is at the heart of Christ-centered education. We emphasize the value of caring for others in all that we do.

MissionPreparing people for a life of learning, work, and service for Christ and His kingdom.

VisionTo be the college of choice for students who seek a life-transforming, academically excellent, globally relevant and decidedly Christian education.

ValuesThe core values that influence the mission and vision of Tabor College include a commitment to being Christ-centered in all aspects of life, a passion for learning, the promotion of service to others, and meaningful involvement in college and community activities.
