a crowd roundtable discussion while aj swoboda is on stage

University, California

February 15

Life Pacific University hosted the second annual Foursquare Forum event, in partnership with the Foursquare Church. Watch a recap of this amazing event below

Over the course of three days, Foursquare pastors, leaders, and those passionate about engaging with dialogue on a deeper level regarding important topics in the current world. Theology’s relevance in the life of the believer and its informing of a Christian worldview has never been more necessary. Together all attendees heard from speakers, attended workshops, and interacted in roundtable discussions that helped engage the heart, mind, and spirit as leaders in the Church.

Joined by powerful educators and leaders of the faith, all those in attendance were empowered to dig deep into the crucial roles of identity formation and disciple-making, covering topics like racial equity, diversity and inclusion, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Dr. A.J. Swoboda, Dr. Jim Wilder, Christy Vines, Russell Joyce, Dr, Angie Richey and many more scholars led these discussions and were joined by passionate Foursquare leaders who facilitated fruitful workshops. Over 300 leaders attended, either in person or online, the Foursquare Forum and engaged in deep learning, which is something to celebrate.

Ministry Major Esther Park Shines God’s Light and Love | Pray and Give Week 2026

April 6

Esther knows she has much to give, because to her much has been given. “Jesus met me at my lowest point,” she remembers. “During a season when I felt lost and without purpose, He met me, freed me from depression and suffering, and restored a clear sense of calling and direction in my life.” Esther is now a sophomore majoring in Ministry at Life Pacific University, where she also serves with Student Ambassadors, a group of students who share the heart and mission of LPU at camps, churches, and other similar events. Here on campus, Esther sees how God is moving and working. “I always felt like our school is like a pan full of corn that is ready to pop,” she shares. “Holy Spirit is stirring [us] to be active in faith.”
