The Management Department dedicates itself to producing graduates who can make the maximum impact on the business world and simultaneously make the maximum impact for Christ.  We believe that God calls and anoints individuals for business and this is a central theme of the Management Department. 

While the Management Department offers similar business and management courses to those found in most business schools, its distinctive Christian nature means that it offers more.

• Our courses recognize that God is a creative God and encourages students to share in God's creativity in the business world.
• We share ‘the evangelical missionary impulse' of the Free Methodist Church.  We recognize that 80% of the people in the world who have yet to hear of Christ are in the economically poorest areas of the world.  We are therefore committed to help students see the evangelistic potential of business as mission.
• We teach in such a way to help students develop both practical management skills as well as analytical skills necessary for strategic decision making.
• We recognize that business is a calling and help students to know what God has called them to be and do.

The Management Department's mission is congruent with that of the College. The Management Department produces graduates who can use resources to help people. These professionals answer a special calling: to do things - to get important things done. They take good ideas and intentions and give them practical reality by doing them. We produce doers.

What do these doers do? As Christians we take special notice of the many forms of human needs-material, social, emotional, or spiritual - and find opportunities to help. In the United States, we have an economic system that inclines creative people in a natural way to help others through commerce. We can meet many needs through profit-making endeavor, in which both sides gain. In other cases, we can discover opportunities to collaborate in non-commercial or non-profit ways to help people. But in every case, we must go beyond our good intentions and get the task fully done. Getting it done - meeting people's needs - matters, because we recognize our own deep needs.

What contribution does a Christian manager make? Every society underutilizes the resources God has given us. This may happen because we fail to discern the best ways to meet needs, or we may manage clumsily and wastefully. But our Creator designed us as creative, goal-achieving stewards, and we have almost unlimited potential to innovate. We can innovate in two ways: by perceiving unmet needs and by conceiving new, more efficient ways to meet those needs. We can stretch our supply of resources, multiplying the human satisfaction gained from them.

By discerning needs and devising better methods, we add to human well-being and serve our neighbors. God calls us to do this. We seek students who will consider answering the calling to do. They become managers.  We strongly emphasize that this calling to be a manger is no less a call than being called to ministry, teaching, mission or nursing.  We equally stress that it is important for each of us to discover the call that God has placed on our lives and, with His help, do all we can to develop our abilities and skills to enable us to fulfill this calling to be a manager.  

The Management Department fulfils its mission through focusing on six goals and objectives.  We teach our students how:

A.      To get things done - to plan, start, manage and finish important tasks

B.      To understand the business enterprise and its contribution to society

C.      To develop thinking abilities in order to solve important business and social challenges

D.      To develop communication skills necessary for successful leadership

E.      To develop knowledge and skills in the interpersonal relationships necessary for achievement

F.      To develop a Christian Philosophy of life and sensitivity to God's calling and guidance
