Many good things have happened since our beginning in 1939, but the best days of the University are taking place right now. Since relocating the University to Rocklin, CA we are facing a wonderful future of growth opportunity! We look with eager anticipation at what God has planned for us on this exciting journey toward becoming a premier Christian University in Northern California. We are an educational institution with a difference. As a University accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), formerly known as Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (AABC), we fulfill our mission in the spirit of a family where we love one another and help each other to achieve God’s best in our lives. Our University is small enough to care about every individual but large enough to provide quality Christian higher education. You may not know exactly how God will use you in the future, but you do know you want to deepen your life so that God can broaden your ministry for Him. Many come to WJU so that they can better understand the will of God for their lives and then they go forth to serve Him in hundreds of different places around the world–for opportunity always follows preparation! As I begin my 21st year as President of William Jessup University, it is a privilege, joy, and honor to serve the Lord in this vital ministry. I would love to have the opportunity to share in your life as, together, we seek to glorify God through WJU.
