What are we?

We are a Christian learning community. Our motto is “cultivating the mind to love God and others fully,” in accordance with the Great Commandment of Jesus in Mark 12 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28. We promote a wholistic spirituality in which loving God with the mind plays a central role (Deut 6:4–5; Mark 12:28–31).

Our primary audience are people affiliated with the university, such as students and graduates. Among these cohorts are current and future leaders in every sphere. We study the biblical worldview. We embrace a Neo-Calvinistic orientation to interpret and engage society.

What do we do?

Informal discussion: Participants with our Center meet to watch biblical or theological lectures and discuss their implications. In this way, we learn to think together, using our biblical assumptions. We also share a meal and pray. Basically, these meetings are little learning communities.

Communal reading: We read together Charles Cotherman’s To Think Christianly, Richard Smith’s book Such a Mind as This, John Murray’s Redemption Accomplished and Applied, and Daniel Strange’s Making Faith Magnetic. Groups also read articles and chapters online. We provide, as well, in-person and online seminars about presuppositional apologetics, Old Testament wisdom, public theology, and Neo-Calvinism.

Movie discussions: Films are saturated with implicit and explicit theology and worldview. Analyzing movies is an asymmetrical way to teach the biblical outlook and foster critical thinking. To facilitate thoughtful discussion, we prepare questions and provide them to the participants
