Life Pacific University (LPU) is experiencing remarkable momentum, celebrating two years in a row of enrollment growth—an astounding 48% increase in student headcount over the last two years. This season marks not only a time of numerical growth but also a fresh spiritual outpouring that is shaping the lives of students across the nation.

This year’s verse of the year, Romans 8:11, has become a guiding declaration over the university: “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” At LPU, this truth is being lived out daily. Students are coming hungry for more of God, gathering on campus, online, and in micro campus locations, crying out for a genuine move of the Holy Spirit.

Expanding Across the Nation

LPU is uniquely positioned to serve the church in today’s world. With a presence on the West Coast, East Coast, and a robust online platform, the university now has 17 micro campuses across the United States. These sites, hosted in partnership with local churches, allow students to receive hands-on ministry training while pursuing accredited academic degrees. From certificates to doctorates, LPU is equipping leaders for every level of ministry and service to the church.

Students are engaging in practical ministry, learning in real-world settings, and developing the character, skills, and theological depth needed to impact their communities. This expansion reflects LPU’s long-standing mission to empower leaders who serve God’s purposes in the world.

A Move of the Spirit and God’s Faithfulness

This is also the first year LPU launched the PK Scholarship, awarding full tuition to children of Foursquare pastors who are pursuing ministry degrees. The scholarship is a powerful way to invest in the next generation of leaders and demonstrates the university’s commitment to serving the church family in tangible, lasting ways.

Sara Huson, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing, reflects on this growth:

“This growth is a testimony of the Lord’s faithfulness to LPU. For over 100 years, Life Pacific University has remained true to its mission of equipping leaders who live and lead in the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, we are seeing the fruit of that faithfulness as students from across the nation step into their callings and prepare to make a difference for the Kingdom of God.”

Looking Ahead

With renewed spiritual vitality, expanding opportunities, and unprecedented growth, the momentum continues. This fall, LPU is preparing to host Preview events in both the East and West, giving students and their families a chance to experience LPU firsthand. The university is also looking forward to the upcoming MPI Preaching Conference, where students and pastors alike will be inspired, equipped, and challenged in their calling to preach the Word of God with clarity and conviction.

As the Spirit continues to stir hearts, Life Pacific University remains steadfast in its commitment: to provide biblically grounded, Spirit-filled education that meets the needs of the church today and prepares leaders for tomorrow.
