The Tokaikolo Church in Tonga has opened a new university in Nukuʻalofa today known as Christ’s University in Pacific.
The new Christian campus is operated at the church’s Maseia Plaza building.
It was previously named as Lavengamalie Christian University (USA) after it was first established in Palo Alto, USA in 2003.
“The mission of the university is to provide a tertiary education program with a Christian world-view which will equip students for future Christian service”.
The founder is president of the church, Rev. Dr Liufau Vailea Saulala and CUP is a division of Tokaikolo Education System with a history of 36 years since it was first established in 1979.
The word “Tokaikolo” was coined from the Bible, “The Lord is in your midst” (Zephaniah 3:15).
