Vanguard University

The purpose of the University Community Care Council is to maximize student success and thriving by fostering a Christ-centered community that promotes appreciation and respect for individuals, nurtures the development of its constituents, and values differences in gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, abilities, socio-economic status, denomination, and generation.

The Leading with Integrity, Faith, and Trust (LIFT) Committee is charged to intentionally live out the Assemblies of God value of women in Leadership.

LIFT aims to develop an intentional and accessible Vanguard community. We commit to bringing the women of Vanguard together to share stories, encourage, inspire, and know one another as we support each other.

At Vanguard University, Christian service thrives at the intersection of calling, ability, availability, and vulnerability. Guided by love and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we respond to God’s call with courage and authenticity.  
 
This year’s theme, Here Am I (Isaiah 6:8), reflects our desire to serve Christ and others with open hearts and obedient lives. Service is embedded in our mission, core values, curriculum, and strategic vision. As a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered community, we seek to embody excellence in service across all areas—academic, spiritual, and social—trusting God to use us wherever we are called.
