Institutional Overview
The College takes a sincere effort to inculcate its motto 'Fiat Lux' (Let there be light) into the minds of the students as a guiding principle.
The College also seeks to create a good environment for mutual cooperation between the mission fields and the sending churches or bodies and between mission bodies. It also tries to develop maturity in the understanding of the Bible and Christian faith. Another important concern of the College is to impart a proper understanding of the concept and practice of mission to the students.
The motto written upon the shield reads in Latin 'Fiat lux.' It means 'Let there be light.' It is symbolic of our strive towards enlightenment within ourselves and our responsibility to bring the gospel of light in the world of darkness.
