His Beatitude Theophilos III,
Patriarch of Jerusalem and All Palestine
The establishment of the Baptism Site Orthodox International University is a conscious response to an urgent need in both the Church and the world for an education that unites faith and knowledge, balancing deep spiritual roots with responsible openness to the challenges of the present age.
We believe that this University is called to be more than an academic institution; it is to be a living space of encounter, where the human person meets God, discovers oneself, and learns to build authentic relationships with others based on respect and love.
We hope that the University will contribute to forming a generation that carries the Church’s message with sincerity, lives it with wisdom, and translates it into service to humanity and society—becoming a living witness to truth in a world deeply in need of light and hope.
