The Advent Project
Start each day of Advent by focusing your mind and heart on Christ. Join Biola’s Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts from Nov. 28, 2026, to Jan. 6, 2027 for daily devotionals featuring art, music, poetry, Scripture and reflections from Biola professors and alumni.
Give the gift of Biola Blend
Our community-crafted medium roast shaped with the help of our students and brought to life by alumni Andrew Phillips (B.A. ’03, M.A. ’08) and Nathan Tourtellotte (B.A. ’04) through their company Rose Park Roasters. It’s a meaningful way to share the Biola story and a little Christmas warmth.

Wherever you are this season, may the joy of Christ’s birth fill your heart with peace and hope. Merry Christmas from Biola University!
