Merry Christmas From Azusa Pacific University
Join in APU’s Holiday Traditions
A sense of joy infuses campus as APU celebrates our 125th anniversary and the holiday season. From classrooms to concert stages, from Cougar Walk to Kresge Plaza, the APU community is brimming with Christmas cheer as we await the birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Gathering together for our beloved traditions—the annual tree lighting and School of Music’s Celebrate Christmas concert—our hearts are filled with gratitude for our community. May we love one another as He loves us—for that is the greatest gift. Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas and New Year.
