We just celebrated the graduating class of 2023, carrying on a beloved tradition that has propelled more than 86 years of new WPU Alumni to fulfill God’s calling on their lives!

Commencement is quite simply the culmination of our Christ-centered mission: to equip students to not only succeed in their careers, but also to live lives of service and love, guided by the example of Jesus Christ.

We have a favorite verse that we revisit each year around this time—Matthew 5:16: "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Our graduates have been a shining light on our campus, and we walk in confidence, knowing they will continue to be beacons of hope, compassion, and love in their communities and beyond.

But we need your ongoing support to continue this work. Our Christ-centered mission for a community increasingly in need is more important than ever, and our instructors and students rely on your generosity to help Warner Pacific succeed.

We are asking you to please consider making a donation to Warner Pacific today. Your gift will make a real and lasting difference to our future and to the future families God will bring to us.

On behalf of all of us who serve on this beautiful hillside of Mt. Tabor in Portland, we thank you for your support and prayers for our university. We have faith that you will give generously and cheerfully, knowing that your gift will continue to equip faith-filled leaders to serve in the Kingdom of God.
