The APU Degree

As a student of Azusa Pacific University, I am proud of this place for what it has offered me and continues to give daily. As I look to the future, I am confident that APU will allow me to perform well in this world because the school has a steady track record of transforming dynamic leaders for a world that is lacking of excellent leadership.

I had the privilege of meeting Debra Walsh, an APU Alumna with a Master's in Nursing, who recently became the President/CEO of USC University Hospital and USC Norris Cancer Hospital. To me, that is remarkable! I cannot help but be proud of a woman who has used her degree to bring Christ-centered leadership to one of the best hospitals in the world.

I believe in Azusa Pacific University. They understand it... they really get this thing called education.

APU Soccer

On Monday, Azusa Pacific Soccer lost to Westmont in a huge match, but it was much more than a game.

Why I Love APU

Bryan Clay, now the "Best Athlete in the World," is a great example of the way APU transforms its students.

My Schedule

Here's my schedule for the week, and almost every week as a matter of fact!

New Venue at Saddleback

New venue at Saddleback Church starting in a couple of weeks … live teaching … shorter service … younger target but everyone welcome. Can’t wait!

The HSM Office Video

Here's a video the fellow summer interns and I put together. The staff loved it! It was a blast to film, act, and edit. It's full of inside jokes that will only be understood by the staff for the most part. Fun!
