Welcome to Fresno Pacific University

Andre Stephens

Welcome to Fresno Pacific University. 

We are a Christ-centered university committed to academic excellence, spiritual formation and meaningful service in the world. At FPU, you’ll find a community where people are known, supported and challenged—by dedicated faculty and staff who care deeply about growth and by a shared commitment to learning and living with purpose.

At Fresno Pacific, we believe education is a calling—one that prepares us to think deeply, live faithfully and serve boldly. Rooted in the love of Christ, we are committed to engaging our communities, caring for one another and pursuing learning that makes a difference.

Whether you are joining us as a new or returning student, we are honored to welcome you. Fresno Pacific is a place where faith informs how we learn and how we lead—where we seek truth, practice integrity and cultivate compassion in every setting. My hope is that you will experience a community marked by grace and respect, and that you will find encouragement to grow, contribute and thrive.

Thank you for being part of Fresno Pacific University.
