Mission Statement:
“Today at Azusa Pacific University, we work together as a team of difference makers to advance the work of God in the world through scholarship, teaching, and building disciples across all levels and delivery systems of collegiate education. When Azusa Pacific was founded in 1899 in a simple home in Whittier, California, as the Training School for Christian Workers, that modest beginning came with the bold resolve of homeowner Philena B. Hadley and others to forge an educational enterprise that would impact the world for Christ. This foundational understanding of our common purpose finds expression in the Mission Statement as established in 1990 under the leadership of Interim President Ted Engstrom and President Richard Felix, who had just begun his tenure.”

Known Christian Groups on Campus:

   “Office of Chapel and Pastoral Care

‘The Office of Chapel and Pastoral Care facilitates spaces for spiritual formation and life transformation in the undergraduate community through the large gatherings of chapel and the smaller, intimate settings of pastoral care and counseling.’

   Office of Service and Discipleship ‘The Office of Service and Discipleship equips and empowers APU students to faithfully pursue God and participate in God’s transformative work in the world through intentional service and discipleship opportunities.’”

Prayer Request:
1) For the most colleges and universities across the country on Winter Break –
     Christmas Break. Pray that they will not lose all the work the Holy Spirit
     accomplished during the Fall semester.
2) Please pray for these Christian students. Pray that they will not only hear, but
      internalize the truths of the Gospel
3) Please pray for the faculty, staff, and administration. Pray that they will
      exemplify Christian character and integrity.
4) Please pray that God will call people from this school into full time ministry:
      “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord
      of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” Luke 10.2.
