New alum and Licensed Foursquare Minister, CJ Caudle, interning at M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust
Just a few months after walking across the stage at Commencement, CJ Caudle (‘22) is serving at Grace Foursquare Church in Camas, WA, and has started his internship at M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust in Vancouver, WA.
Named for Jack Murdock, the Murdock Trust believes in the power of workers and the importance of pouring into the potential they see in others. In this spirit, the Murdock Trust invests in leadership development throughout the Pacific Northwest, supporting current leaders through enrichment programs and leadership development and, just as significantly, investing in the future generation of leaders through internships and mentorship.

After leaving LPU and starting his internship, CJ feels “equipped and prepared for the journey that lies ahead…knowing the relationships I’ve made helped grow, stretch, and encourage me.†To read CJ’s welcome article, visit
CJ graduated with a B.A. in Business Administration and received his ministerial license with the Foursquare Denomination. Following his internship, he will pursue a Master of Divinity degree at Portland Seminary – George Fox University, with a biblical studies concentration.
