    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.

Getting there requires strategic planning. Such planning is particularly important in situations where there are many unknowns. Fortunately, we rely on the Lord Jesus Christ who not only knows the future, but is the future. OUR MISSION “To educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.” This is accomplished by fostering a transformative learning culture where a sustainable biblical worldview takes shape; building a Christian community that promotes worship, creative expression and activities that reflect God’s character; and cultivating a life of stewardship and service toward God, humanity and creation. OUR SENSE OF PLACE “Ideally, every college or university should have its own physical image, an amalgam of buildings and landscapes that define and celebrate a sense of place; communicate the institution’s purpose, presence, and domain; and generate an image charged with symbolism, graced by history.” (“Campus Design” by Richard P. Dober) The Lord has blessed us with a campus that has truly become a beautiful educational setting with several new buildings, clock tower, amphitheater, large green spaces, new athletic fields and renovation of several existing buildings. The prospects of a new library building and the addition of 42.5 acres to our campus give us the opportunity to continue to expand the University.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2019 Something is happening here. Christ is here, and his coming brings us joy! from the president Let all who arrive be welcomed as Christ. Dear friends, What has marked the momentous years in your life? Weddings? Births? New ventures and adventures? The past year has been truly momentous for Mount Angel. Long-planned projects came to fruition —thanks to the unceasing prayers of our monks and friends, the generosity of our donors, and some dedicated beer fans! Benedictine Brewery opened its St. Michael Taproom to the public a year ago and has recently sailed through its second annual Oktoberfest with larger revenues and thumbs-up reviews. More important, the taproom’s guests enjoy meeting the monks and learning about Mount Angel. Join them! Have you had a chance to visit the newly re-opened Saint Benedict Guesthouse and Retreat Center? Its welcoming new spaces have inspired our guests and renewed the monks’ ministry of hospitality. Whether you live near or far, please consider reserving a room for the spiritual retreat your soul needs. It’s waiting for you. Thanks to careful planning, the Abbey’s historic library will be refurbished in time to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2020. True to its Benedictine heritage, the library represents the tradition of sharing and preserving the best of theology and culture. Remember, if you live within a 50-mile radius of Mount Angel, you qualify for a library card. So much more has happened this year, including a nationwide downturn in priestly vocations and seminary enrollment. Mount Angel Seminary meets this trend with a spirit of confidence.
