The Great Lent: A Season of Spiritual Renewal
The Great Lent, also known as the Great Fast, is a significant period of fasting and spiritual preparation observed by many Christian denominations, particularly in the Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches. It is a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual growth leading up to the celebration of Easter.
As we observe the Great Lent, let’s start with joy and take this opportunity to deepen our spiritual journey and focus our prayer life.

Worldwide Community
Agora University strives to maintain a close relationship between students and staff. Many members of our faculty are involved in discipling students during the academic years. Faculty members encourage students as they grow in their personal devotions, discuss things they are learning in class, and challenge them in areas where the students may be struggling. Students have ready access to any staff or faculty member and are encouraged to seek help both academically and personally
