“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’ ”

Revelation 7:9-10 (NIV)

Scripture reveals the Kingdom of God as multinational, multigenerational, multiethnic, and multilingual. As a Christ-centered community, APU aspires to elevate diversity, equity, and inclusion as Kingdom distinctives. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Division is committed to partnering with administrative, academic, cocurricular, and student leaders to strategically promote and advance DEI initiatives that translate to a sense of belonging, thriving student outcomes, and holistic success.
