Church of the Nazarene in San Diego. CCCU member, Wesleyan Christian identity. 82/100 Spiritually Safe.
Point Loma Nazarene University occupies one of the most beautiful university campuses in America — the Point Loma peninsula overlooking both the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. Affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene since 1902, PLNU maintains genuine Wesleyan Christian identity — required chapel, faculty Christian commitment, and integration of the Wesleyan emphasis on holiness throughout campus culture.
PLNU has navigated the challenge of maintaining orthodox Christian identity in secular Southern California better than Azusa Pacific (which faced significant internal LGBT pressure). The Nazarene denominational connection provides institutional support. Strong programs in nursing, business, and education. See our Christian Colleges hub.
Point Loma's strong programs include nursing (consistently ranked among California's best nursing programs), business, education, and the arts. The nursing program in particular has an excellent reputation for preparing students for California's competitive healthcare market. For Christian families in Southern California wanting a genuinely Christian university with excellent professional programs: PLNU is significantly underrated nationally.
