Events
Forming hearts and minds in community
The Michigan Christian Study Center exists to connect Christian faith and academic life at the University of Michigan. Toward that end, the Center hosts events throughout the year for the various groups we seek to serve. Some are one-time drop-in events that do not require registration, while other request participants to register in advance. You’ll find all those details below. Questions?
