Urshan Spring PREVIEW WEEKEND 2025

Discover Urshan University, where our community thrives on Apostolic doctrine and practice, honor binds us together, and our commitment to servant leadership ignites a passion within our students for a life of service for the Kingdom and to the world.

Join us for an unforgettable two-day Preview Weekend to immerse yourself in our classes, vibrant community, and the profound spiritual connections that help define Apostolic education. Geared towards high school juniors, seniors, and college transfer students, our classes and activities empower you to put your faith into action.

This fall, we're excited to open Preview Weekend to 100 prospective students! Stay in our dorms, dine with current students and staff in our cafeteria, and experience firsthand the culture of Urshan. It's an immersive opportunity like never before.
