Our mission:
The James Madison Christian Faculty Fellowship is a group of faculty who are dedicated to serving as SALT and LIGHT for Christ on the campus of James Madison University. We seek to fulfill this mission by

  • Mutually equipping each other in our role as Christian faculty
  • Exploring ways to integrate our faith into our academic disciplines
  • Providing support and fellowship to each other in our unique ministry
  • Working together to be a visible presence for Christ on the Campus.

What’s this about being salt and light?
Jesus Christ instructed his followers using rich metaphors:

“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

This teaching comes from the Bible, Matthew 5:13-16 (New Revised Standard Version translation).
