As a place-based Christian learning community within the university, the Michigan Christian Study Center seeks to be a home that provides a true sense of belonging. 

Visit our page to learn about our location, hours of operation, and find answers to frequently asked questions.

Students are invited to visit the center every Friday during the academic year for our Thinking Christianly, Living Faithfully lunch series.

Friday lunches provide a free lunch and the chance to hear from a U-M speaker. Upcoming Friday lunches are listed on our events page.

We provide students with resources to connect their faith with their area of academic study. Some opportunities include borrowing books from our in-house library, joining a book club or Bible study, participating in prayer groups, or enrolling in a Program in Christian Studies class. Students can learn more here.

University of Michigan faculty members meet regularly to encourage one another and discuss how their Christian faith informs their academic disciplines. To receive faculty event updates, email Rick Ostrander, Executive Director, at rickostr@umich.edu.

Several campus ministry leaders gather at the Center regularly to encourage one another, pray together, and lift up the university in prayer. We also offer our space as a welcoming home for campus ministries to meet, connect, and host various events throughout the year.

We are committed to enriching the University of Michigan by hosting events that model civil, respectful dialogue, even between those with deep disagreements because discussion and debate are foundational to truth-seeking. In doing so, we call members of the community back to an understanding of teaching, learning, creative work, and scholarship as God intended it to be: an intrinsic good that brings joy to the creature and glorifies the Creator of all truth.
