At Samford, you’ll find that the four pillars we rest on are foundational to your success both during and long after your time here. The pillars will help you identify and pursue your goals through one of Samford’s 183 undergraduate majors, minors and concentrations.
At Samford, we live out our faith in everything we do. Faith shapes prayerful moments in chapel and shared song that uplifts others. It connects the classrooms where we discuss ethics to leadership positions where our alumni make real change. Faith invites us to the wisdom of the Gospels and to service projects as far away as Malaysia and as close as Birmingham.
Action strengthens our faith and spreads God’s love. It builds community by showing us what we can achieve when we come together in common purpose. It gives each of us the chance to grow as people, and to become the leaders we are called to be. We learn to be leaders who work for the joy, safety and wellbeing of others. Through action, we learn to be leaders who act everywhere they go as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
Every aspect of service—from planning to travel to walking alongside others—brings Christ’s love to those around you. Matthew Grigg (’23) built meaningful connections in Malaysia through Samford’s Global Missions Scholars program. Helping run a sports camp for refugee children, he shared their challenges and their lives.
Through Samford, you can work for the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Equip young people to change their communities with YouthServe. Help restore the Black Warrior River. Nourish the hungry and help shelter the homeless through countless partnerships. And much more. With Samford, you can ignite the faith of others wherever you go.
Whoever you are, whatever you want to achieve, you have a place at Samford. Come and see where your purpose comes to life.
