Faith, Science, and Technology at LeTourneau University

We live in an age of extraordinary technological innovation. This brings unprecedented opportunity. It also raises urgent new questions about humanity and human flourishing.

Many universities pursue technological advancement, and many explore questions of humanity and well-being. But few intentionally bring these conversations together—and fewer still do so from a distinctly Christian perspective.

LeTourneau University is uniquely positioned to lead this work.

A Christian Vision for the Technological Age

Faith, Science, and Technology at LETU engages the most pressing questions of our technological world through a Christian lens. Rooted in our polytechnic heritage and our Christian mission, this initiative brings together students, engineers and scientists, medical and tech practitioners, cultural analysts, ethicists, biblical scholars, and theologians. Together, we cultivate innovation, professional practice, and daily life that are both technically excellent and faithfully Christian.

quote markNow more than ever, we need faithful followers of Jesus who are leaders in cutting-edge technologies, who are deeply thoughtful about our world and its possibilities, who can bring ingenuity and wisdom to bear on their callings. The Faith, Science, and Technology Initiative equips Christians to live faithfully and wisely in our technological world, grounded in scripture and in Christian morality. ”
