Our Values
Integrity of thought
We honor the call to love God with our minds. We value rigorous, honest, and humble inquiry that seeks truth in service of the common good.
Mutual responsibility
We believe in the power of community. We learn with and from one another through mentorship, dialogue, and collaboration.
Contextual faithfulness
We believe the Spirit speaks through culture and history. Our work draws from Christianity and Africa’s moral and intellectual traditions to respond to our time with relevance and grace.
Justice and Compassion
We follow Christ in standing with the suffering. We seek a world ordered by justice and tempered by mercy, where power serves peace and the vulnerable are uplifted.
Hope-driven innovation
Founded in eschatological hope, we imagine new possibilities for systems, policies, and communities, guided by faith in what can be, even if imperfectly.
Excellence as witness
We pursue academic and vocational excellence (not as prestige) as a faithful witness, offering our gifts in service of the church, the academy, and the public square.
Be a Mentor
Invest in the next generation of African scholars and leaders. At Breed, mentors guide students through their intellectual and vocational journeys. We welcome academics, practitioners, and ministry leaders who are passionate about shaping lives and sharing wisdom.
