Shirley V. Hoogstra, J.D.

From The President

Thank you for your interest in supporting the CCCU! We invite you to join us as we work to promote and protect Christian higher education through our work in public advocacy, experiential education, and professional development. 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 gives us a foundation: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Below, you will find more information about our work on Capitol Hill, our efforts in leadership and professional development for staff and faculty, and our off-campus study programs. By investing in the CCCU, you invest in the future of our 180+ institutions, in the next generation of Christian thought leaders, and in building God’s kingdom throughout the world. Thank you!

Warmly,

Shirley

Monthly Prayer Focus

May 2023:

This month, we are celebrating the graduates joining a global network of over 3.6 million CCCU alums. As they walk across the commencement stage and leave their campus, help them feel prepared from their time at a CCCU institution for the next plan God has for them. When asked, “Where did you go to college?” Each graduate can discuss their faith-based institution and how it impacted their life. Join us in praying for the Class of 2023 as they pursue a new calling (Psalm 20:4). For staff and faculty transitioning into the summer months, please pray for rest and reset after the upcoming academic year. And, as always, we ask that you continue to pray for us and our work here at the CCCU.

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
