William Carey University is a community of learners which seeks to blend faith and learning with living. Within this unique nurturing and challenging environment, students prepare to fulfill their diverse callings in the larger global community.

The Carey Creed

“Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.”

Theme Verse

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9

Each year, William Carey University selects a theme verse from the Bible to guide its mission and focus for the academic year. This year’s verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.”

As we look to 2026-2027, this verse captures our conviction that God has designed us to thrive not in isolation, but in community - students, faculty, alumni, and friends laboring side by side in shared mission. At William Carey University, our greatest impact comes when we combine our gifts, strengthen one another, and pursue Christ-centered excellence together. This year, we embrace the truth that we are stronger, wiser, and more fruitful as one body united in purpose. #BetterTogether
