As an LAPU employee, you are called to engage with your colleagues and all those that the university serves by modeling Christ-like character in all of your interactions. You will celebrate and honor other employees and students as being made in the image of God; be thankful, expressing gratitude to God and one another; build others up with your words; and work as an instrument of God's love, seeking to heal a lost and broken world. Adjunct faculty play a vital role in carrying out LAPU’s mission to advance the work of God in the world through academic excellence in higher education that encourages students to develop a Christian perspective of truth and life. LAPU believes that all truth is of God and therefore recognizes the importance of each field of study both for its own significance and for its interrelationship with other areas of knowledge. Specifically, faculty carry out LAPU’s Christian faith and mission by integrating themes, concepts, doctrines and other relevant insights from the Christian faith into teaching assignments or curriculum in any discipline, providing students with opportunities to think critically from a Christian point of view, to explore ideas from the vantage point of Christian tradition, and through that lens, to challenge, deepen and affirm cultural, professional or disciplinary perspectives related to the content of courses (i.e., relating the Christian faith to life and learning). Adjunct faculty are assessed periodically on their performance of these duties. Adjunct faculty members also carry out LAPU’s Christian faith and mission by engaging in the spiritual development of students through faith integration, spiritual and pastoral counseling, and writing or publishing from a Christian point of view.
