At The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College, we view a love for truth and a love for liberty as inseparable allies. Liberty cannot flourish long in the absence of truth, and truth is not affirmed where liberty is denied. In fact, America’s extraordinary achievement lies in the essential combination of both truth and liberty. Since 2005 we have worked to strengthen the faith and freedom foundation of American citizenship. The Center for Vision & Values is a leading forum for the study and application of freedom to economic, political, social, religious, and scientific issues. Explore our scholarship, attend an upcoming lecture, and consider an investment in our essential work.

America is exceptional because its foundation rests on truth. The passionate pursuit and defense of that truth is the quest of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. We seek to create a dynamic learning community to connect, educate, and empower people to strengthen the faith and freedom foundation of American citizenship and to advance liberty around the world.
