Fresno is the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, the nation’s leading agricultural area. But the city—fifth largest in California and largest in the Valley—also enjoys a truly urban scene with tech, music, theater, museums and cultural venues and baseball. Its central location in the state is just hours away from the Bay Area, Los Angeles and three national parks, including the iconic Yosemite, as well as beautiful Pacific beaches and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada.
**MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. offers undergraduate and graduate programs that couple academic preparation and a strong ethical foundation in a community that honors Christ and supports students.

FPU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the seminary is accredited by the Association of Theological Seminaries.

The ideal candidate will possess the experience, skills and drive required to help shape the future of this innovative and progressive institution, while exemplifying the character and ethics expected in a highly visible and trusted Christian university and community leader.
The new president will be a servant-leader who possesses a terminal degree and a deep appreciation of the value of Christian higher education. The president will embrace the Confession of Faith and values of the Mennonite Brethren.
