Foursquare Ministry Credentials Awarded to LPU Students

December 12

Life Pacific Univeristy has the honor of announcing a new batch of students who have been recommended to receive their Foursquare pastoral license. In the Centennial year of the institution and the Foursquare denomination, these credentials given to both men and women continue to honor the mission and vision of LPU since it was founded by Sister Aimee Semple Mcpherson in 1923.

Every year, LPU partners with the Foursquare Church to offer the Foursquare Culture and Doctrine course which counts for course credit and allows students from any major to graduate as a Recommended Licensed Foursquare Pastor. This partnership with the Foursquare Denomination is a fulfillment of LPU’s commitment to the transformational development of students into leaders prepared to serve God in the Church, the workplace, and the world.

Through the hard work and dedication of the students enrolled in the course, it’s with the sincerest joy that Life Pacific University congratulates students Hannah Jesudasson, Hailey Wells, Kristin Norton, Moriah Carter, Madison Nichols, Elijah Leonard, Eduardo Correa, Denie Stark, and Caleb Wnorowski.
