Arizona Christian University

Campus Life:

Each semester at ACU is filled with events and ministry opportunities. Whether it is intramurals every Tuesday & Thursday evening, Project 032, open mic nights, Mr. ACU, discipleship groups, or banquets, students are not at a loss for chances to engage the community at ACU.

Residence Life:

Moving onto campus for the first time can be both a scary and exciting time in life. You are at a point in your life in which you are choosing to forsake some of the comforts of home to live in a community that will transform your life. Tough decision, we know. But you’re not alone. Almost half of our students have chosen to live on campus, and they have found that living at ACU has many, many rewards.  Come and join us on campus at Arizona Christian University. We guarantee that it will be a positive life changing experience!

Student Leadership:

Leadership can be summed up in one word: influence. The question is, how will we steward our influence? At ACU we teach that becoming a leader is a process, not an event. The process we engage students with is learning how to use their influence to serve others. The world is full of self serving leaders whose mission is power and greed. This generation is begging for leaders whose character is strong and can sustain positional authority to influence this world for the Kingdom of God.
