Depends on how the 'mission' of the college is stated.
In some cases it's explicitly defined as propagating the Christian
religion (or some subset of it).

Michael,
I know that there are some Christian colleges that expect every
faculty member to accept basic precepts of their faith, but that is
not universal. I work at a Catholic college, but we have many
faculty who are not Catholic, not Christian, and in some cases not
religious at all. There is nothing unethical about them. The
question we address is simply, can you support the mission of the
college? From our perspective, one does not need to be Christian in
order to do so (otherwise, they would have found a way to get rid
of me years ago).

I think if a person works in a Christian college then the person has
to agree with the faith precepts of the institution.
So I doubt there would be any "secular" faculty at such institutions,
and if there are, they are clearly being unethical
under such circumstances.
