Live on Purpose
The UMHB Meaningful Life Initiative
We believe every member of the UMHB community - students, faculty, staff, and alumni - is here for a reason. At UMHB we are here to help you uncover the remarkable potential God has given us to follow our individual callings, with purpose. We intentionally help students with vocational exploration from a Christian perspective throughout the curricular and co-curricular programs of the university. We envision our graduates living meaningful lives that fulfill the will of God and contribute to the common good and work to provide opportunities for discerning your purpose while you are at UMHB.

Our Goals
- To foster a campus culture of meaningful life exploration.
- To train faculty and staff mentors to engage students in conversations exploring life purpose.
- To provide on and off-campus opportunities for students to explore and experience potential life callings.
- To shape the curriculum to help students consider the spiritual, moral and societal commitments that produce meaningful lives, fulfill the will of God, and contribute to the common good.
Questions for Exploration
- Identity
- Who am I? What are my gifts, passions, and abilities?
- Significance
- What is truly important? What do I believe to be true, good and beautiful?
- Responsibility
- Who needs me? How can I make a difference in this world?
