Rochester College exists to engage students in a vigorous educational program that combines liberal arts and professional studies within a Christian community that will promote a life of study and service.

In 1954, several members of the Churches of Christ formed a Board of Trustees to establish an educational institution in the North Central region of the United States. After months of consideration, the board decided to establish a liberal arts college and purchased a beautiful country estate in rural Rochester, Michigan, for a campus site. In September of 1959, the college opened as North Central Christian College, retaining that name until 1961.

In the initial college catalog, the school’s leaders affirmed their dedication “to the task of leading students toward higher academic achievement.” The founders also stated their belief “that the development of Christian ideals in the life of an individual is highly important.” Leaders of Rochester College remain firmly committed to those ideals.

The campus of Rochester College has grown to more than 80 acres, assuring space for continued expansion. During the same time, college leaders have continued to develop and modify programs to meet the needs of students and a changing society.

Rochester College affirms and models social justice and servant leadership. Students, faculty, and staff interact to create a healthy environment of mutual respect. As people in preparation for a lifetime of growth and service, we participate in lively academic debate around important issues of our time.

Mission
