It is our goal to share the Christ-centered mission of LLU.
We want prospective students to know they will receive
quality education in an environment that caters to their
spiritual, mental and physical well-being.
We strive to connect with our secondary audiences as well

objectives is to have those, who have been impacted by
LLU, share their experiences with others and promote the
