Serving Students at Stanford
Christian Union develops Christian leaders at some of the nation's leading universities. At Stanford, Christian Union provides in-depth study of Scripture, Christian leadership training, fellowship, and support for Christian students, as well as resources to help any interested students — whatever their spiritual background or beliefs — learn about Christianity.
The organization's main activities include intellectually rigorous study of the Bible, a leadership lecture series, conferences, and various outreaches to students.
