Texas Christian University (TCU) is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination. The Disciples of Christ is a Protestant Christian denomination that emerged in the early 19th century in the United States. It emphasizes the unity of all Christians, the authority of scripture, and the freedom of individual interpretation. The Disciples of Christ denomination values inclusivity, intellectual freedom, and a focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ. TCU’s religious foundation is rooted in these principles, and while the university welcomes students of all faith backgrounds, its values and programs are influenced by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) tradition.
