The more we explore ideas different than ours, the more clear and sure we see ours. We purposely seek out truth, goodness, and beauty in a context of diversity. This is more than just ecumenical conversation but a posture of seeing Christ in the other first. This encounter happens by creating a physical and emotional space that breaks down walls and gives people a place to belong. We stay true to our beliefs finding common ground with others, then walking side by side toward truth.

Seeking out the good, true, and beautiful in the time and culture we are in right now means not hiding from the world but looking for those things within it. We engage literature, music, art, and cultures, sifting through to find the beauty God has infused. We do not accept all the things of the world but allow what is from God to seep through.

In everything we do and everywhere we go, in and out of the classroom, we strive to live grace-filled lives. It’s not a one-time thing but a constant journey. As we continually seek holiness, choosing words, actions, and an attitude that models Christ, we become icons that help point our students, peers, and community towards the reality of Christ.

We seek others out and make them feel welcome the moment they step into our lives. It comes to life in the intimacy of our physical space but also the space between our people—the trust and relationship between students, staff, TWU community, and those in our local community. Together, all these things foster a place of physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional belonging.

To take courses at the college, prospective students must first be admitted into TWU (apply to TWU here). Since all CPC students are TWU students, every course that is taken at CPC counts toward any one of the 45+ undergraduate majors offered by TWU. You can register for courses at CPC after you have been admitted into Trinity Western. CPC's courses are conveniently listed with all TWU courses and students simply select Catholic courses while they choose others for their respective programs.

To take full advantage of Catholic Pacific College's academic presence at TWU consider taking the Catholic Formation Track (CFT) of the TWU Core Curriculum. TWU's liberal arts core curriculum is aimed at forming well-rounded individuals by providing a dynamic range of subjects from art & culture to humanities and sciences. Imagine, then, attending this amazing university plus being formed in and by the Catholic intellectual tradition. At CPC, you can be. The CFT is composed of 11 fundamental courses. Students take these courses throughout their undergraduate academic careers (typically 4 years).

*The remaining 4 courses are then chosen according to TWU's Core Curriculum Checklist
