What we believe
Alef University takes its role as an educator with a great responsibly. It does not seek to align theology with a particular denomination belief ; nor does it seek to disconnect the student from their denominational heritage. On the contrary, it seeks to strengthen his bonds to the vision of his church and equip him with some additional tools so that he grows and develops as a person worthy of being followed.
Alef University adheres to the principles that are universal to all evangelicals and that were clearly established by the Laussana Covenant in 1974 at the evangelization congress held in Laussana, Switzerland, which we reproduce below:
