Leaders Matter
Leaders developed at Yale University shape the future of our country by determining what media gets disseminated, what laws get passed, and how major decisions get made. Yale has produced five U.S. Presidents, four current Supreme Court justices, and countless thinkers, artists, and executives including economist Paul Krugman, actress Meryl Streep, and Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman.
Today, however, we see many examples of failing leadership. We are a country that does not always protect the most vulnerable among us, that worships idols, such as money and fame, and that is focused on secular, earthly goals rather than spiritual and eternal ones. Raising up godly leaders at Yale is the start of having God at the center of our culture. Christian Union Lux, which ministers to Yale invites you to become a partner in creating faithful leaders to transform our nation.
Who is shaping tomorrow's leaders?
A handful of universities and cities have an outsized influence on our nation’s culture. Nearly 70 percent of the nation’s most influential leaders come from just one percent of schools. Many of these institutions, including Yale, were founded on Christian principles. Yale’s charter states that it was granted on account of the petitioning founders’ “sincere regard to and zeal for upholding and propagating of the Christian Protestant religion by a succession of learned and orthodox men.” Today, however, Yale is decidedly secular and, in many cases, overtly antagonistic to the Christian faith. This rocky ground is where Christian Union Lux sets its stake.
Become a partner in developing and equipping these Christian leaders.
Christian Union Lux believes that widespread proclamation of the Gospel and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit will transform Yale and as a result, our nation. This new spiritual vitality will be built by students shaped at Yale. The ministry develops leaders through mentoring and in-depth biblical study that honors the needs of the intellectual, intensely motivated students at Yale.
Highly-qualified ministry faculty guide students in a deep understanding of their Christian faith. Through Bible courses and discipleship they learn to seek God’s purpose for their lives and graduate ready to do His work in the world. After graduation, Christian Union continues to nurture Yale alumni with the faith and power to reshape our institutions through our alumni engagement programs and through CU New York.
