Biblical Fidelity You Can Trust

Every full-time employee affirms our Statement of Faith and Community Life Covenant, ensuring your student is surrounded by faculty and staff who share a deep commitment to living out a Christ-centered worldview. This commitment enables us to offer a high-quality education grounded in biblical truth, and is why Montreat remains the last remaining four-year liberal arts Christian college of its kind in North Carolina.

Our Statement of Faith includes core convictions such as:

  • The Bible is the infallible Word of God and fully authoritative in all matters of life and conduct.
  • God’s design for marriage is solely between one man and one woman.
  • Life begins at conception.

Support for Homeschool Families

With one in every eight Montreat students coming from a homeschool background, we understand the unique strengths and needs of homeschool learners, and we’re committed to supporting their transition to college life. Montreat College offers:

  • A $10,000 Homeschool Scholarship ($2,500 per year for four years)
  • A dedicated admissions counselor for homeschool families
  • A Loan Repayment Assistance Program (link to LRAP webpage) through the Montreat College Commitment
