Faith, Life, & Learning

How faith, life, and learning connect at APU Global, four core commitments, the podcast, and what a Christ-centered online education looks like.

Faith, life, and learning

At APU Global, we believe education should shape more than just what you know. It should shape who you become.

That’s the heart behind our Faith, Life, and Learning community. It’s more than a resource; it’s a space where your faith and education grow together. Through a Christ-centered lens, you’ll explore how to integrate your faith into your career, think critically about the world around you, and discover how your story connects to God’s greater story.

What does that mean for you? An education that develops your skills, deepens your faith, and clarifies your purpose, preparing you not just to do great work, but to do it with meaning. Our Faith, Life, and Learning podcast continues these conversations with real stories, honest questions, and powerful insights from voices across our community. Join us at APU Global and see how faith, life, and learning come together to transform your future, and the lives you’re called to impact.

Our core commitments

The four commitments in practice

Faith, Life, and Learning is APU Global's framework for how a Christian university forms students in an online environment. It rests on four commitments that appear across coursework, faculty mentoring, and student support rather than in a single required course.

  • Applying a Christian worldview

    Apply a Christian worldview to your life and work in the world.

  • Our story and God's story

    Connecting our story to God's story in all we do.

  • Diverse faith perspectives

    Engage with diverse faith perspectives within the learning community at APU Global.

  • God's work through academic disciplines

    Recognize God’s work in the world through all academic disciplines.

Why it matters for online students

Nothing is left to happen by proximity, because there is no proximity.

Formation is harder at a distance, so it has to be intentional. Faculty write faith integration into assignments, chaplaincy is available remotely, and the podcast, essays, and video resources here let students engage on their own schedule.
