Celebration of Service

Our 2025-2026 Theme

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.

Each month, the university will highlight where Vanguard is serving throughout our campus and in the broader community:

  • August: Women
  • September-October: Hispanic Heritage
  • October: Mental Health Awareness
  • November: First-Generation Students/Veterans/Native American Heritage
  • December: Poverty Awareness/ Grocery Rescue/Collegiate Food Insecurity Awareness Day/Protect the Pride
  • January: Education
  • February: Black History
  • March: Neurodiversity Awareness
  • March 6: Employee Appreciation
  • April: Asian Pacific Islander Heritage
  • April 6: Student Athlete Day
  • May: Helping Professions—nursing, pastors, social workers, psychology, campus safety 

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Isaiah 6:8 

January: Education

During Vanguard’s Year of Service, we celebrate how education becomes an act of service through our Celebration of Education. In the School of Education, this calling is lived out as Education for Love and Wisdom, equipping educators to lead with faith, purpose, and the pedagogy of Jesus.
