Life at Spring Arbor University


At SAU, we recognize that your personal growth and well-being are just as significant as your academic success. Our community fosters a supportive, genuine, and mentorship-focused environment guided by Christian values. Join us and discover your full potential as you fulfill your life’s purpose.

Box Background

Spiritual Life

You, transformed.

Your spiritual growth is just as important as your academic growth. Our prayer is that you will experience a whole-person transformation during your time here. Discovering your God-given gifts. Having them honed — as iron sharpens iron —through the fellowship of a loving, supportive community. And ultimately going out from Spring Arbor equipped to bring the light of Christ to a world in need.

From the first tradition — Parting at the Plaza — to the last tradition — Cutting of the Ivy — there are many opportunities to make lifelong friends and participate in uniquely SAU activities.
