Overview

The Religion and Public Life programme is offered by University of Mary Hardin Baylor. Jesus provided a new way for people to relate to God and one another. He called it the Kingdom of God. Jesus invites his followers to participate in God’s good work of creating a just, whole, restored, and redeemed human family.

Key Facts

At UMHB we encourage students to explore ways they can use their gifts to participate in God’s good work of world restoration. How can we best obey Jesus’ command to love our neighbor?
