Whether we’re attending a Ranger game, bowling or watching movies on the lawn, there’s an activity for all to enjoy. There are numerous ways to engage and be involved. Scroll through to see some of the programs available as well as upcoming events!
Mission Trips
ABU believes in the Great Commission and strives to take the Gospel message into all the world. One of the requirements for graduation from ABU is that students must go on at least one mission trip. Through the years ABU has spanned the globe from Asia to Europe, South, Central and North America. Students may take school sponsored mission trips or with their home or local church.
Student Government
Student Government is comprised of students that are charged with managing a wide range of events, activities, programs, policies, and initiatives around campus. Some members are elected by the student body, and others may be appointed by
the administrative team to help with specific tasks or areas of interest. Student Government seeks to enhance spirit, protect University traditions, and support all students and student organizations in their academic and community directed endeavors.
