    Welcome Welcome to Warner Pacific University! The 2020-2021 academic year will be undertaken during a period of unprecedented times. In spite of the uncertainty of this pandemic that will affect higher education institutions across the nation, Warner Pacific University will remain flexible, dutiful, watchful and continuous in our following the great grace upon our institution that has sustained it since its founding in 1937. As Warner Pacific University’s newly appointed 8th President, I am confident that we will continue to move forward into a very bright future while building upon the foundation of the past 12 years under the wonderful leadership of President Andrea Cook. My leadership team and I will continue to emphasize and value Warner Pacific University’s standing as a vibrant, progressive university located within the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Warner Pacific University is and will remain a Christ-centered urban liberal arts university dedicated to providing students from diverse backgrounds an education that prepares them to engage actively in a constantly changing world. Over recent years, we have come to better understand our mission statement and how it applies to the unique setting of our campus. We seek to educate students who welcome the learning that comes with living in an increasingly diverse and thriving urban environment. Still further, the institution will continue to be guided by its foundational principles and evolution within the past 12 years as a dynamic, progressive institution while maintaining values that embraces its tradition, yet remains open to embrace the particular trajectory we are called to fulfill. To this end, I wish to reiterate and underscore President Andrea Cook’s words from excerpted from the 2019-2020 Catalog: “Four core themes run through our mission statement and guide the holistic educational process at Warner Pacific University.

Organizations beyond our campus recognize the high quality of our faculty scholarship; many support Whitworth research programs. Whitworth faculty members have received grants from a broad range of organizations, including Fulbright Scholarship in Residence, The Lilly Foundations, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Welch Family Foundation. Whitworth faculty members are engaged in a wide array of research, creative production What We Do and performance, and scholarly projects. The work of our natural scientists ranges from research into celiac disease to the brooding habitat of the greater sage-grouse to potential medications for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to space-flight propulsion. Scholars in the humanities publish poetry, examine the work of Franciscans in China, explore the writing of Great Awakening figure George Whitefield, examine intellectual virtues, and discuss religious activism as part of the Civil Rights Movement in the Northwest. Social scientists measure the success of HIV/AIDS non-government organizations among Nairobi’s youth, analyze media coverage of law and faith, explore the emerging church, and describe effective means to teach literacy.

Together with Corban’s outstanding faculty and dedicated staff, I heartily embrace the idea that Christians are to be salt and light in their culture.

We are to do this not just by spreading the good news of the Gospel, but also by exerting a Christian influence in every sphere of life—including politics, the media, the arts and the academy. At Corban, we are committed to equipping a new generation to think critically and operate from our one central foundation, Jesus Christ. To provide a Christian higher education is to equip today’s students to approach, respond to and serve a world that’s in desperate need around us.

  • What We Believe: Our Identity and Values
    What We Believe Our Identity and Values in Community God First Since 1899 Table of Contents Mission Statement 3 Statement of Faith 4 Motto 7 Four Cornerstones 8 Statement of Academic Freedom 10 Essence Statement 14 Identity Statements 18 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. The Board of Trustees has adopted the following statement of mission and purpose for Azusa Pacific University: “Azusa Pacific University is an evangelical Christian community of disciples and scholars who seek to advance the work of God in the world through academic excellence in liberal arts and professional programs of higher education that encourage students to develop a Christian perspective of truth and life.” 2 3 As an educational institution with a Wesleyan tradition at its core, it seems natural to us to embrace a statement of faith that is common among many Christian traditions. APU’s Statement of Faith first appeared in 1900, introduced by Philena Hadley and Mary Hill as “History and Spirit.” It was revisited and clarified in 1956, under President C.P.
