We strive to honor God by advocating social and economic justice for the poor and vulnerable of the earth; by celebrating the joys of diversity; by integrating faith and social work; and by building the evidence base for effective social work practice.

Our mission is to prepare graduates to be competent practitioners who are able to incorporate their faith and best evidence into practice, to advance social work knowledge through research and other scholarly activities, and to promote social justice worldwide through leadership roles in the social services.
