The Azusa Pacif ic Experience An Intentional Christ ian Community Azusa Pacific is an evangelical, Christian university committed to putting God First. While students do not have to be Christian to attend APU, our faith is part of everything we do on campus. Faculty pray with students and encourage dialogue about the Christian faith in the classroom. As part of the undergraduate experience, students attend chapel three times a week. Seven weekly chapel options, including International Chapel, offer diverse worship experiences to choose from, and renowned speakers, pastors, and authors provide biblical, relevant, challenging messages.
