Partner With The White House Faith Office

---

Harvest Christian University proudly declares its voluntary partnership with the White House Faith Office, established under President Trump's Executive Order of February 7, 2025. This strategic alignment empowers our faith-based institution to compete equally for federal grants and collaborate with agencies on crime prevention, prisoner reentry, family strengthening, education, and public safety initiatives—perfectly aligning with our mission to train chaplains, deliver community crisis response, and advance faith-based public safety programs.

The White House Faith Office provides ironclad protections for our school's chaplaincy certification, police chaplain training, CPE programs, and behavioral health initiatives, ensuring equal access to capacity-building funds without religious discrimination or doctrinal interference. Full academic, administrative, and ecclesiastical control remains solely with the University—no government oversight, agency affiliation, or supervisory authority applies.

Partnerships focus on purpose-driven collaboration to strengthen our Licensed Commissioned Chaplain (IALCC) pathways, trauma response curricula, and community safety partnerships, conducted voluntarily and non-hierarchically while preserving our First Amendment religious liberties, institutional identity, and operational independence.

ADOPTED AND PROCLAIMED by the Board of Trustees of Harvest Christian University. Together, we strengthen faith, families, and communities through protected, empowered faith-based service.
