Philip W. Eaton - Office of the President


	President Home

"Can a university change the world? That’s a question we keep asking ourselves on campus. Not by 'brooding over days gone by' (Isaiah 43:18), just the place we are likely to grow cynical. No, we can offer hope by watching intently for just where God’s new thing will break out into our midst, by following the clues, by searching for the signs, by shining the light on those places where God’s freshness of purpose and hope break out.

Such watching and searching will take us to places all over the globe, to just where God is doing a new thing. That’s the place we want to focus our work and energies at Seattle Pacific."
