With Gratitude for What God Is Doing at LCU
A Note from the President
At Lubbock Christian University, every season offers fresh reminders of God’s faithfulness. As I reflect on the months behind us and look ahead with hope, I am deeply grateful for the many ways He continues to bless this campus and the people who call it home. From historic milestones to quiet, formative moments that shape hearts and lives, we see His hand at work in ways both visible and profound.

The Silent Architect of Ethical Research
For many Lubbock Christian University students, research begins with curiosity, a question sparked in a classroom discussion, a clinical experience, or a lived reality that they want to understand more deeply.

A High Calling: LCU Alumni in the Skies
At Lubbock Christian University, students are equipped not just with degrees, but with a strong foundation of faith, community, and purpose that prepares them to answer their unique callings—wherever those may lead. For several alumni, that calling has taken them to the skies as pilots in commercial aviation, U.S. military service, agriculture, private flying, and beyond. Guided by the relationships and values nurtured during their time at LCU, these former LCU students share stories of how their journeys unfolded, the meaningful experiences that shaped them, and the ways their faith continues to influence their work in the cockpit.
