Discover how Kidron College integrates Messianic scholarship, biblical education, and discipleship training to shape talmidim—students who learn with both mind and heart.
Embrace Our Foundational Vision
The foundation of Kidron College was birthed from a vision to integrate academic excellence with lived discipleship. Our vision is found in the richness of Jewish foundations of Messianic faith as lived and taught by Yeshua the Messiah. Our mission is not only to provide rigorous scholarship, but to foster a learning environment where knowledge is internalized and expressed through tangible obedience and spiritual transformation.
Learning Applied Through Faith
Intellectual pursuit devoid of practical application is incomplete.
As it is written, “Na’aseh v’nishma — we will do and we will hear” (Exodus 24:7); action precedes deeper understanding. Therefore, every student at Kidron College is guided to walk out the truths they acquire—not merely to study, but to live what they learn.
Mentorship that Transforms
Our degree programs combine academic coursework with structured mentorship, ensuring that applied learning is woven throughout each program. Mentors walk alongside students to nurture wisdom, character, and spiritual maturity—forming disciples who reflect Messiah in everyday life.
The Heart of Messianic Learning
This principle is beautifully expressed in Hebrew: the word for student, talmid (תלמיד), and the word for heart, lev (לב), share the letter lamed (ל)—a symbol of learning and teaching. This link reveals that true learning flows from the heart. A faithful talmid allows the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to shape the heart through study, reflection, and obedience.
Our Enduring Vision
At Kidron College, we strive to raise up talmidim of Messiah Yeshua—students who are intellectually engaged, spiritually alive, and fully committed to embodying the truths of Scripture in both thought and deed.
