From The President

Thank you for your interest in supporting the CCCU! We invite you to join us in promoting and protecting Christian higher education. As 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 reminds us, "God loves a cheerful giver," urging us to give joyfully and purposefully. Your generosity helps us live out this calling by strengthening our impact and growing our community.

By investing in the CCCU, you are helping to shape the future of more than 180 member institutions, equipping the next generation of Christian leaders, and expanding God’s kingdom through higher education.

Here’s how your support makes a lasting difference:

  • Strengthening Membership: Christian colleges and universities are stronger together. Your support allows us to add new members and ensure current ones thrive, making the CCCU more resilient, impactful, and effective for years to come.
  • Engaging Faculty and Developing Leaders: Faculty and staff are essential to the mission of Christian higher education. We offer resources on faith-learning integration and professional development programs to support faculty and rising leaders in their work.
  • Advocacy: As the leading voice for Christian higher education, the CCCU advocates for religious liberty on the global stage and across all branches of the U.S. government, ensuring our institutions can maintain their mission while upholding their core beliefs.
Thank you for standing with us and partnering in this vital work to support Christian higher education!

Monthly Prayer Focus

June 2025:

As June begins and summer stretches before us, we enter a season marked by rest, travel, and reflection. With the academic year behind us, many now find time to breathe deeply, reconnect with loved ones, and slow the pace of daily life. In this quieter season, may we be reminded of the sustaining presence of God, who meets us in moments of stillness and strength.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31). This verse reminds us that true renewal does not come merely from time off or changing routines, but from anchoring our hope in the Lord. It is when we lean into God’s sustaining presence that we are lifted beyond our weariness. Summer invites us to release what burdens us and receive what strengthens us—not by striving, but by resting in God’s provision and care.

Let us pray that our member institutions and their students experience this kind of renewal in the weeks ahead. May their time away from the rhythms of the academic calendar bring refreshment to their bodies, clarity to their minds, and restoration to their spirits. May moments of rest, whether near home or in far-off places, become opportunities to encounter God.

We also pray for our CCCU staff in D.C. and abroad as we serve our member institutions. We ask for faithfulness and wisdom in supporting our schools and pray for a blessed year ahead as we continue advancing our mission.

The Case for Christian Higher Education

Annual Report

Advance Magazine

"You [Christian colleges] have what everybody else is desperate to have: a way of talking about and educating the human person in a way that integrates faith, emotion, and intellect. You have a recipe to nurture human beings who have a devoted heart, a courageous mind, and a purposeful soul. Almost no other set of institutions in American society has that, and everyone wants it."

-David Brooks
