Christendom College is a small Catholic liberal arts college in Front Royal, Virginia, United States, which is located in the Shenandoah Valley. Christendom College is a Catholic coeducational college institutionally committed to the Magisterium, or "teaching authority," of the Roman Catholic Church. The College provides a Catholic liberal arts education. The stated mission of Christendom College, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, is "to restore all things in Christ". The College's Vision Statement reads in part: Christendom College was founded by Dr. Warren H. Carroll in 1977 in Triangle, Virginia, with only $50,000. The original campus was an abandoned elementary school in Triangle, housing a total of 26 students and five faculty. The founding faculty consisted of Carroll, Dr. William Marshner (then Mr.), Dr. Jeffrey A. Mirus, Dr. Kristin (née Popik) Burns, and Mr. Raymund P. O'Herron. In 1979, the College acquired its new campus in Front Royal, Virginia, overlooking the Shenandoah River. It still occupies this site today. In 1997 Warren Carroll acknowledged the debt Christendom College owed to L. Brent Bozell, Jr.
