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

CCCU GlobalEd is a collection of faith-integrated, off-campus study programs that foster intellectual, cultural, vocational, and spiritual growth. Our programs transform the way students experience the world and equip them to live out their Christian faith in today’s global society. Unfortunately, some students are unable to take advantage of these life-changing opportunities due to their financial situations. Your gift to CCCU GlobalEd supports students in having a transformational experience.

Our institutions rely on the CCCU to be their voice in Washington, D.C. and around the world. Our government relations staff forms key relationships to ensure CCCU institutions have access to the right people and the right information at the right time – helping preserve, protect, and strengthen Christian higher education for generations to come. This advocacy includes work with Congress, the judiciary, and the administration on issues such as religious freedom, institutional autonomy, accreditation, financial aid, tax policy, immigration, prison reform, environmental stewardship, and more. Like a cord of many strands, the CCCU’s advocacy efforts bring together the influence of 180+ institutions to strengthen their missions and amplify their voices.

Professional development and leadership training for faculty and staff on CCCU campuses is critical to our mission of helping our institutions transform lives. Our professional development opportunities include conferences and workshops held throughout the year. Leadership development programs are provided annually for key leaders and presidents as catalysts for effective professional development. You can support these efforts by making a gift to the Longman Leadership Fund, named after renowned Christian higher education scholar, professor, and leader Dr. Karen A. Longman, a longtime friend and partner in the work of the CCCU.

July 2024:

Summer is in full swing, and we have loved seeing students at our member institutions start internships in their desired vocational fields, study abroad, and travel across the country with their university's ministry teams to serve local camps and communities. We ask that you pray for our students to seek out the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in all that they do (Matthew 6:33), that the Gospel would be advanced through their character & life, and that they would rest & prepare well for another academic year.

We also praise God for the success of our 2024 Leadership Development Institute (LDI) and Multi-Ethnic Leadership Development Institute (ME-LDI) in June. We thank Him for bringing us together and guiding us through two weeks of networking, professional development, and a period of rest for our university leaders. We ask Him to bless the work accomplished during the LDIs and that God would continue to "do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the Holy Spirit's work (Ephesians 3:20)" within each LDI and ME-LDI attendee.

Additionally, we give thanks for the tireless efforts of our CCCU staff in D.C. and abroad as they serve our member institutions. Please pray for the CCCU presidential transition, asking that it be a smooth and seamless passing of leadership. We trust in God's guidance and wisdom during this period of change and look forward to the new directions He will lead us in. Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
