  • 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.
