A Remarkable Venture

Can a university change the world? At SPU, we believe this is an important question. It presses us to think about the purpose of Seattle Pacific University. It presses us to think about our vision and our distinctive commitments. And we believe strongly that the answer to this question is an emphatic yes. Indeed, given SPU’s distinctive vision and its clear Christian identity, we must seek to do nothing less than to make an impact in the world with good news.

Seattle Pacific's vision is clear, the plan is in place, and an extraordinary team of people is already tackling the task. You may wish to consider joining this remarkable venture.

Faith Statement

At Seattle Pacific University, we seek to ground everything we do on the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ. Such a claim is both personal, a commitment by each member of our community, and institutional, a corporate aspiration that has guided this institution from its founding. Even while we celebrate the rich diversity of the Church throughout the world, we anchor our faith on the person of Jesus Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture, and the tradition of the Christian Church throughout history.

Our mission at SPU is to engage the culture and change the world, through competence, character, wisdom, and community. We believe our faith in Jesus Christ is the informing and sustaining power through which we fulfill this distinctive calling.
