The University of Lynchburg is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a denomination with a tradition of engaging faith and reason in education. The University was founded in 1903 as Virginia Christian College by Dr. Josephus and Sarah Hopwood and a group of Disciples of Christ ministers and businessmen. The University receives annual funding from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Disciples Mission Fund, endowments housed at the Christian Church Foundation, and the Thanksgiving Special Offering. In partnership with Higher Education and Leadership Ministries (HELM), the University of Lynchburg stays connected to the 14 other colleges and universities associated with the denomination. Lynchburg has always nurtured the concept of vocation, both for the countless pastors educated here and for the laypeople who understand faith and a commitment to justice as part of their life’s work.
