Christian Leadership Scholarship Program

Have we really thought through the implications of what we believe as Christians? Have we embraced those implications? What is the best outlet for us to personally live them out on a daily basis?

These are the driving questions behind the Christian Leadership Scholarship Program, and all scholarship recipients must wrestle with them.

Before, there was little to no follow-up with students who received the Christian Leadership Scholarship. Four years ago, that changed. The program was revamped to include a required class on Christian doctrine and theology, regular church attendance, weekly mentoring with an older Christian, involvement in some kind of community service, and a spiritual assessment interview at the end of the semester. All this happens within one semester; the next semester, students enter into ministry programs. Ultimately, the goal is for students to understand what the Bible teaches and be well equipped to apply it to their daily lives in active forms of ministry and evangelism.

The Class of 2022 has the first seniors who went through the revised version of the scholarship program for all four years of their college careers. In this special edition of Faith in Action, we check in with a few of them to hear their biggest takeaways.
