History and Foundation of IRCU
A University Born to Serve with Excellence and Faith
The International Redeemed Christian University (IRCU) was founded in response to the need to prepare Christian leaders through high-quality education that is firmly rooted in the Word of God and adapted to the challenges of today’s world. Its foundational principles are grounded in the Southern Baptist Confession of Faith, combining academic excellence with spiritual growth.
Founded in the state of Florida, USA, IRCU is authorized to operate under recognized legal and educational standards, and has since expanded its impact throughout Latin America and other regions.

Values
Principles That Define Our Path

Excellence defines our academic standards, as everything we do aims to glorify God. Service represents our social mission, forming leaders who are willing to give, not just receive.
