Harding University is a private Christian university in Searcy, Arkansas, affiliated with the Churches of Christ. It is one of the largest and most established Churches of Christ universities in America, with a strong commitment to Christian identity and a campus culture shaped by its Restoration heritage.
Harding University's Churches of Christ affiliation shapes its identity distinctively. The Restoration Movement heritage — a cappella worship, emphasis on biblical authority, and commitment to following the New Testament pattern — produces a campus culture that is both warmly evangelical and specifically Churches of Christ in character.
Chapel is required five days per week — a commitment that exceeds most Christian universities. The student lifestyle covenant addresses conduct in alignment with biblical principles. Harding's mission explicitly grounds the university in Christian faith and practice.
Harding's strongest programs include its well-regarded nursing program, business, education, and biblical studies. Its Harding School of Theology (graduate level) produces ministers for Churches of Christ congregations nationwide. The university consistently appears on lists of most Christian campuses in America.
Students from Baptist, Presbyterian, nondenominational, and other evangelical backgrounds attend Harding and find genuine Christian community, though the a cappella worship and Restoration Movement distinctives will be unfamiliar. The campus culture is warm but specifically Churches of Christ in character. This is worth knowing before enrolling. See also our Lee University guide for another Restoration-tradition university.
