Community Relations

Founded in 1944 as Pacific Bible Institute, Fresno Pacific University now holds the unique identity as the only comprehensive Christian university in the Central Valley offering master's degrees. We're committed to serving the community—FPU is dedicated to developing partners and building relationships in an effort to foster understanding and collaboration in a wide variety of business, civic and community groups. We welcome the opportunity to be of service to you and to partner with you as well.

Business Forum

  • Each fall, organizational and leadership experts draw a sell-out crowd of business and community leaders to the Business Forum.

Ministry Forum

  • In the spring, ministry leaders from throughout the Valley gather on FPU's campus to learn from leading authors, pastors and visionaries.

Education Forum

  • The Education Forum is the newest of the forum series, inviting leaders in education research and development to train local administrators and community leaders. A panel of local leaders from various sectors helps to provide local insight and application.

Luncheon Roundtables

  • Luncheon roundtables address relevant topics in business and ministry, providing participants with the opportunity to network with other professionals while gaining key principles to help guide their organizations.

Sponsorship

  • A variety of opportunities exist to advertise your business, receive recognition and support FPU by partnering as a business or corporate sponsor.
