Lilly SERVE at Seattle Pacific

Launched in 2000 with a grant from the Lilly Endowment, the SERVE Program (Spiritual and Educational Resources for Vocational Exploration) supports programs at Seattle Pacific University. These programs are intended to make theological reflection on vocation a central part of the life of the university, so that students will complete their undergraduate years with a theologically-rich sense of Christian life purpose.  To that end, each project element is designed both to challenge students with a vision of vocation that transcends career, status, or material aspirations and also to give them the theological tools and experiences they need to discern and develop their own calling.

SERVE programs also benefit faculty, staff, and alumni of SPU.  In addition, several programs serve communities outside the university.
