THE NEXT 100 | CENTENNIAL VISION AND PRIORITIES Since 1923, the Lighthouse of International Foursquare Evangelism (LIFE) has sent out more than 27,000 alumni who have served in over 140 countries worldwide. Today, Life Pacific University remains a lighthouse, shining bright for students to find safety and guidance, where the Word of God, not culture, remains our compass. It stands apart as an unapologetically charismatic and Spirit-filled biblical university, never wavering in its roots to preach the Word of God, engage the world’s needs, and bring the message of Christ spiritually and practically. Scan to watch the Presidential Vision Video Vision for the Next 100 Years LPU recognizes the changing world around us and is driven by three critical focus areas in its Centennial year: the Future Church, Leader Health, and Technology and Creative Arts.
