Consortium of Christian Study Centers
The Consortium of Christian Study Centers grows out of the grassroots Christian Study Center movement. Christian Study Centers are hubs of Christian community, hospitality and learning—gathering places for students and scholars animated by the ancient ideal of faith seeking understanding.
Located at (or adjacent to) secular colleges and universities, study centers support and complement their host institutions’ mission to discover and disseminate knowledge by providing co-curricular programming that leans into the enduring human questions of meaning, purpose and value. Programming typically consists of lectures, courses, reading or film discussion groups, and fellows programs, often in a residential or other hospitality-oriented facility.
We seek to inhabit and serve the academic campuses and communities of which we are a part – and to do so as Christians.
