Kuyper is a leading Christian College located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, focused on effectively training students to make a difference in God's world. And they are doing so with extraordinary results as they use what they've learned at Kuyper to make an impact in the lives of others in more than 50 countries around the globe.
At Kuyper, we put biblical faith first in the academic and community experience of our students through the integration of a high-quality academic curriculum and a Reformed worldview. This provides them a well-rounded college experience and the ability to see, understand and live all of life through the lens of Scripture.
We also equip our students to become leaders—training them to take responsibility for who they are, to accept where God has placed them, and with the skills He's given them, make a godly impact in the lives of others. It is all of this, plus the extraordinary results-driven commitment of our students to serve others, that makes Kuyper College very different and unique in our educational mission and environment.
The mission of Kuyper College is “to equip students with a biblical, Reformed worldview to serve effectively Christ’s church and his world.” It is the same mission that our Lord entrusts to us in Matthew 28:19–20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
We're all hungry for a community! A place where we are supported, encouraged and challenged to become who God created us to be. This is the type of community we have at Kuyper College. Our community is marked by seeking Christ together in the classroom and in the residence halls, in chapel and while studying in the library, in service to the community and to each other, and in every other inch of our lives—we care and live life together. We would love for you to come and be part of the thriving and welcoming Kuyper community.

The college years are some of the most transformational, yet challenging years for a student. We strive to further equip our students by providing a variety of support services to help them be successful along every step of their journey.
