Count Nicolaus von Zinzendorf (1700-1760) was a father of the Moravian movement that developed on Herrnhut, his estate in Germany. They were one expression of the broader Pietist movement that followed the Reformation of the 1500s. However, they took it still further by launching Protestantism&#8217;s worldwide evangelistic outreach. Zinzendorf himself sought to promote cooperation among the various forms of Protestantism. He and the Moravians exhibited four commitments for global ministry which our school also seeks to display:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Personal and vibrant spirituality by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Christian community in worship, prayer, and the sharing of resources<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Taking the Good News to the nations by evangelism, church planting, and social service<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stressing the foundational doctrines held by Evangelicals generally<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the tradition we seek to uphold and build upon as we educate a new generation from among the nations with the next level of biblical, theological, and ministerial studies.
