University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In fall 2013, a Christian leadership development program launched at University of Pennsylvania, resourced by Christian Union.

The student organization provides students at Penn with access to in-depth study of Scripture, Christian leadership training, fellowship, and support for Christian students, as well as resources to help non-Christian students learn about Christianity. The main activities of the program include intellectually rigorous Bible courses, a weekly lecture series, conferences, and various outreaches on campus.

In 2016-17, 116 undergraduate students enrolled in Christian Union's rigorous, weekly Bible courses.
This year, two full-time Christian Union ministry faculty work directly with students, providing Bible course instruction, mentorship and leadership coaching.
The leadership lecture series, Philia, addresses a host of challenging, inspiring topics throughout the year.
Conferences take students off campus twice a year to go in-depth into Scripture, worship, and prayer.
Prayer gatherings take place throughout the year, and students are learning to fast as they seek the Lord for themselves and their campus.
