Pastoral Care

At APU, you’ll find many opportunities for authentic conversations about life and faith with faculty, staff, and other students. As part of that experience, our Pastoral Care team is here for you, offering confidential one-on-one counseling by appointment. Whether you’re navigating distress, indecision, or theological questions, or simply want to be known as a person, we’re here to listen and walk alongside you.

For more information, contact us at spirituallife@apu.edu or (626) 815-3855. If you would like to schedule an appointment, complete the Pastoral Counseling Appointment Request Form.

Students with Disabilities

We want every student to have a meaningful chapel experience. If you have a disability that makes it challenging to fully participate in chapel, our Accessibility and Disability Resources (ADR) team is here to support you. Your ADR advisor will meet with you to understand your needs, help verify your disability, and explore chapel accommodations that work for you. Once accommodations are approved, your ADR advisor will coordinate with Chapel Services to put these adjustments in place. Contact ADR at (626) 815-2067 or disabilityservices@apu.edu.

SALT

From coordinating events to sharing creative ideas, SALT offers students the opportunity to directly impact spiritual life on campus. Often ministering in significant ways behind the scenes, SALT provides our office and our chapel team with invaluable student leadership and input. As these students pour into campus ministry, they often come away with close-knit relationships and deepened faith. Inspired by Jesus’ call to be the “salt of the earth,” SALT is at the heart of campus ministry.

SALT  focuses on:

• Bringing chapel services to life through creative arts, worship, and behind-the-scenes support that make each service special.
