Community

CovenAnt

prefaCe

Wheaton College is an institution of higher learning, a

rigorous academic community that takes seriously the life

of the mind. But this description does not exhaust the

College’s understanding of itself. Wheaton College is also

a largely residential community made up of Christians

who, according to the College motto, are dedicated to the

service of “Christ and His Kingdom.”

These features in combination mean that Wheaton

College is a complex Christian community of living,

learning, and serving that cannot be reduced to a simple

model. For example, while the College is not a church, it is

yet a community of Christians who seek to live according

to biblical standards laid down by Jesus Christ for his body,

the church. Or again, while the College is not a religious

The goal of campus life at Wheaton College is to live, work,

serve, and worship together as an educational community

centered around the Lord Jesus Christ. Our mission as

an academic community is not merely the transmission of

information; it is the development of whole and eﬀective

Christians who will impact the church and society

worldwide “For Christ and His Kingdom.” Along with the

privileges and blessings of membership in such a community

come responsibilities. The members of the Wheaton College

campus community take these responsibilities seriously.

The biblical foundation of Christian community is expressed

in Jesus’ two great commandments: “Love the Lord your God

with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your

mind,” and, “Love your neighbor as yourself ” (Matt. 22:37-

40). Jesus himself perfectly demonstrated the pattern: love

for God, acted out in love for others, in obedience to God’s

Word. Acknowledging our dependence on the power and

grace of God, the members of the Wheaton College campus

community humbly covenant to live according to this ideal.

order, it yet demonstrates some features that are similar

to religious orders, communities wherein, for the sake of

fulﬁlling the community’s purposes, its members voluntarily

enter into a social compact. At Wheaton we call this social

compact our community covenant.

For Wheaton’s community covenant to serve its stated

purpose, it is crucial that each member of the College family

understand it clearly and embrace it sincerely. In joining this

covenant we are, before the Lord, joining in a compact with

other members of the Wheaton College community. If we

do not wish to live under the provisions of this compact, we

should not agree to it. But if we do agree to it, it should be with

the full intention of living with integrity under its provisions.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,

rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

2 TImOThY 3:16

The purposes of this community covenant are as follows:

• to cultivate a campus atmosphere that encourages

spiritual, moral and intellectual growth;

• to integrate our lives around Christian principles and

devotion to Jesus Christ;

• to remove whatever may hinder us from our calling as a

Christ-centered academic community;

• to encourage one another to see that living for Christ involves

dependence on God’s Spirit and obedience to his Word,

rather than a passive acceptance of prevailing practices.

AﬃrmingBiblical Standards

We desire to build this covenant on basic biblical standards

for godly Christian character and behavior. We understand

that our calling includes the following:

• The call to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ over all of

life and thought. This involves a wholehearted obedience

to Jesus and careful stewardship in all dimensions of life:

our time, our possessions, our God-given capacities, our

opportunities (Deut. 6:5-6; 1 Cor. 10:31; Col. 1:18; 3:17);

• The call to love God with our whole being, including our

minds, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Christ-like

love should be the motive in all decisions, actions, and

relationships (Matt. 22:37-40; Rom. 13:8-10; 1 John 4:7-12);

• The call to pursue holiness in every aspect of our thought

and behavior (2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Thess. 4:7; Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15-16);

• The call to exercise our Christian freedom responsibly within

the framework of God’s Word, humbly submitting ourselves

to one another (1 Pet. 5:5; Eph. 5:21) with loving regard for the

needs of others (Phil. 2:3-11; Rom. 14:1-23; 1 Thess. 4:9);

• The call to treat our own bodies, and those of others, with the

honor due the very temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:17-20);

• The call to participate in the worship and activities of the

local church, which forms the basic biblically-mandated

context for Christian living (Acts 2:42-47; Heb. 10:25;

1 Tim. 3:14-15).

Living the Christian Life

We believe these biblical standards will show themselves in

a distinctly Christian way of life, an approach to living we

expect of ourselves and of one another. This lifestyle involves

practicing those attitudes and actions the Bible portrays as

virtues and avoiding those the Bible portrays as sinful.

According to the Scriptures, followers of Jesus Christ will:

• show evidence of the Holy Spirit who lives within them,

such as “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal. 5:22);

• “put on” compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,

patience, forgiveness, and supremely, love (Col. 3:12-14);

• seek righteousness, mercy and justice, particularly for

the helpless and oppressed (Prov. 21:3; 31:8-9; Micah 6:8;

Matt. 23:23; Gal. 6:10);

• love and side with what is good in God’s eyes, and abhor

what is evil in God’s eyes (Amos 5:15; Rom. 12:9, 16:19);

• uphold the God-given worth of human beings, from

conception to death, as the unique image-bearers of

God (Gen. 1:27; Psalm 8:3-8; 139:13-16);

• uphold chastity among the unmarried (1 Cor. 6:18) and the

sanctity of marriage between a man and woman (Heb. 13:4);

• be people of integrity whose word can be fully trusted

(Psalm 15:4; Matt. 5:33-37);

• give faithful witness to the Gospel (Acts 1:8; 1 Pet. 3:15),

practice good works toward all (Gal. 6:10; Eph. 2:10;

Heb. 10:24; 1 Pet. 2:11), and live lives of prayer and

thanksgiving (1 Thess. 5:17-18; James 5:16; Titus 2:8).

By contrast, Scripture condemns the following:

• pride, dishonesty (such as stealing and lying, of which

plagiarism is one form), injustice, prejudice, immodesty

in dress or behavior, slander, gossip, vulgar or obscene

language, blasphemy, greed and materialism (which may

manifest themselves in gambling), covetousness, the

taking of innocent life, and illegal activities (Prov. 16:18;

1 Cor. 6:10; Exod. 20:7; Rom. 13:9; Col. 3:8-9; James 2:1-13;

Gal. 3:26-29; Rom. 13:1-2; 1 Tim. 2:8-10; Heb. 13:5-6);

• hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and legalism, understood as

the imposition of extra-biblical standards of godliness by

one person or group upon another (Acts 15:5-11; Matt. 16:6;

23:13-36);

• sinful attitudes and behaviors such as “impurity and

debauchery; idolatry and witchcra; hatred, discord,

jealousy, ﬁts of rage, selﬁsh ambition, dissensions, factions

and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like” (Gal. 5:19-21);

• sexual immorality, such as the use of pornography

(Matt. 5:27-28), pre-marital sex, adultery, homosexual

behavior and all other sexual relations outside the bounds

of marriage between a man and woman (Rom. 1:21-27;

1 Cor. 6:9; Gen. 2:24; Eph. 5:31).

Exercising Responsible Freedom

Beyond these explicit biblical issues, the Wheaton College

community seeks to foster the practice of responsible

Christian freedom (Gal. 5:13-14; 1 Pet. 2:16-17). This requires a

wise stewardship of mind, body, time, abilities and resources

on the part of every member of the community. Responsible

freedom also requires thoughtful, biblically-guided choices

in matters of behavior, entertainment, interpersonal

relationships, and observance of the Lord’s Day.

You are not your own. You were bought at a price.

Therefore honor God with your body.

I CORINThIANS 6:20

Of particular concern in a collegiate environment are

those issues related to alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco.

While the use of illegal drugs or the abuse of legal drugs

is by deﬁnition illicit, and the use of tobacco in any form

has been shown to be injurious to health, the situation

regarding beverage alcohol is more complex. The Bible

requires moderation in the use of alcohol, not abstinence.

Yet the fact that alcohol is addictive to many, coupled with

the biblical warnings against its dangers, also suggests

the need for caution. The abuse of alcohol constitutes by

far our society’s greatest substance abuse problem, not to

mention the fact that many Christians avoid it as a matter

of conscience. Thus the question of alcohol consumption

represents a prime opportunity for Christians to exercise

their freedom responsibly, carefully, and in Christ-like love.

The Wheaton College community also encourages

responsible freedom in matters of entertainment, including

the places where members of the College community may

seek it, such as television, movies, video, theater, concerts,

dances and the Internet. The College assumes its members

will be guided in their entertainment choices by the godly

wisdom of Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever

is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is

lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or

praiseworthy, think about such things.”

Embracing College Standards

To foster the kind of campus atmosphere most conducive to

becoming the Christian community of living, learning, and

serving that Wheaton College aspires to be, the College has

adopted the following institutional standards.These standards

embody such foundational principles as self-control, avoidance

of harmful practices, the responsible use of freedom, sensitivity

to the heritage and practices of other Christians, and honoring

the name of Jesus Christ in all we do.

• Wheaton College and all Wheaton College-related

functions will be alcohol-free and tobacco-free. This

means that the possession or consumption of alcohol or

the use of tobacco in any form will be prohibited in, on,

or around all campus properties, owned or leased. The

same prohibition applies to all Wheaton College vehicles,

whether on or oﬀ campus, and to all Wheaton College

events or programs,wherever they may be held.

While enrolled in Wheaton College, undergraduate

members of the community will refrain from the

consumption of alcohol or the use of tobacco in

all settings.

Other adult members of the College community will

use careful and loving discretion in any use of alcohol.

They will avoid the serving or consumption of alcohol

in any situation in which undergraduate members of the

Wheaton College family are or are likely to be present.

• On-campus dances will take place only with oﬃcial

College sponsorship. All members of the Wheaton College

community will take care to avoid any entertainment

or behavior, on or oﬀ campus, which may be immodest,

sinfully erotic, or harmfully violent (Eph. 4:1-2, 17-24;

ITim. 5:2; Gal. 5:22-23).

Conclusion

We, the Wheaton College community, desire to be a

covenant community of Christians marked by integrity,

responsible freedom, and dynamic, Christ-like love, a place

where the name of Jesus Christ is honored in all we do. This

requires that each of us keeps his or her word by taking the

commitment to this covenant seriously as covenant keepers,

whatever pressures we may face to do otherwise.

The issue of keeping one’s word is for a Christian an

important one. Being faithful to one’s word is a matter of

simple integrity and godliness. “Lord, who may live on your

holy hill?” asks the Psalmist. “He who keeps his oath, even

when it hurts” (15:4), comes the reply. Christian integrity

dictates that if we have voluntarily placed ourselves under

Wheaton’s community covenant, we must make every eﬀort

to fulﬁll our commitment by living accordingly.

Keeping our covenant may also on occasion require that we

take steps to hold one another accountable, confronting one

another in love as we work together to live in faithfulness

both to God’s Word and to our own word. Such loving acts of

confrontation are at times diﬃcult, but when performed in

the right spirit (Gal. 6:1), they serve to build godly character

for both the individuals involved and the community as a

whole (Matt. 18:15-17). Only in this way, as we are willing to

speak the truth in love, will we “grow up into him who is the

Head, that is, Christ” (Eph. 4:15).

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and

admonish one another with all wisdom, … And whatever you

do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the

Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
