51��Ƶ is proud to announce the official launch of its newest Micro Campus in Zagreb, Croatia, in partnership with Pastor Mario Dučić and CCE Church (Church of the Full Gospel). This milestone marks LPU’s continued global expansion and a significant step in making accredited Christian higher education more accessible across Europe.

The partnership was formally established during a special church service on March 25, 2026, where Sara Huson, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing at 51��Ƶ, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Pastor Mario Dučić. The moment reflects a shared vision to equip leaders, empower the local church, and expand Spirit-filled higher education to new regions.

“This Micro Campus represents more than a new location, it represents access, opportunity, and the strengthening of the Church across Europe,” said Sara Huson. “We are honored to partner with Pastor Mario and CCE Church to invest in leaders who will impact Croatia and beyond.”

A New Pathway for Ministry and Leadership Development in Europe

Through this Micro Campus model, students in Croatia and surrounding regions can pursue accredited degrees while remaining rooted in their local church community. The model combines LPU’s fully accredited academic programs with hands-on ministry training, mentorship, and leadership development within the local church context.

Students participating in LPU Global Cohorts through the Zagreb Micro Campus will have access to a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, including:

Undergraduate Programs

• Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies
  
• Associate of Arts in General Studies
• Associate of Arts in Practical Ministry
• Bachelor of Arts in Ministry & Leadership
• Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management
• Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
• Bachelor of Arts in Theology & Leadership
• Bachelor of Arts in Worship Arts & Media

Graduate Programs

• Master of Arts in Christian Leadership (MACL)

These programs are designed to equip students for both ministry and marketplace leadership, integrating biblical foundations with practical skills for real-world impact.

A Growing Global Movement

The launch of the Zagreb Micro Campus represents LPU’s first Micro Campus in Europe and builds on the university’s rapidly expanding network of church-based learning sites around the world. Through Global Cohorts and Micro Campuses, LPU continues to remove barriers to education by providing flexible, affordable, and ministry-integrated pathways for students called to lead.

Pastor Mario Dučić shared his excitement about the partnership:

“Something like this, this kind of flexible study option, has been really needed among believers here for a long time. There is a real hunger, but also a need for something that people can realistically combine with work, family, and ministry.”
