To be best for the world. This is our goal in the Dayton School of Business, and expresses our radical view to apply effective business management principles from a Christian world view standpoint.
Our business programs are built on the biblical principle of stewardship and Christian standards of ethics. As you gain technical knowledge and pursue excellence in professional skills, you will also grow in your faith and be prepared to serve others in your future career.
Asbury business courses are focused on a “triple bottom line” – profit, people, and purpose. Business has both the power to corrupt the rich or to bless the poor. It takes men and women of integrity who are completely surrendered to God’s purpose to bring out the best for the world.

Howard Dayton’s journey from a successful career in restaurant and real estate to founding Crown Financial Ministries reflects his transformation through biblical financial principles. After a business partner challenged him to study the Bible’s teachings on money, Howard’s life was profoundly changed, leading him to share these principles through books, radio programs, and small group studies.
In 1985, he founded Crown Ministries, which merged with Larry Burkett’s Christian Financial Concepts, becoming the world’s largest financial ministry. In 2009, he founded Compass—Finances God’s Way, focusing on teaching God’s financial principles. Howard has impacted millions through his dedication to financial discipleship. Asbury University honored his legacy by naming the Dayton School of Business after him in 2014.
