The Cornerstones Project recently launched APU's Institute for Faith, Leadership, and Service, which unites students, faculty, and staff to explore the deeper theological dimensions of serving others and enhancing the university's ability to provide training in theological reflection and Christian leadership. The Institute for Faith, Leadership, and Service will establish APU as a center of collaboration to support innovative service initiatives among the university and external partners, including churches, Christian K-12 schools, and parachurch organizations. This initiative will serve hundreds of APU students with a further reach of thousands of middle school, high school, and college students, with APU serving as a hub over the five-year grant period, fostering a deeper connection between academic learning and spiritual formation.
