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.

April 2024:

As our member institutions prepare for the end of the school year, we pray for our students, faculty, and staff. We ask that faculty and staff be gifted with wisdom and strength in guiding students to finish the school year strong academically and spiritually. For students, we pray that they trust God in calling them to His purpose as they anticipate the summer and enjoy a few months of rest (Romans 8:28). For graduating students, we ask that God would continue to bless their futures as they trust God to number and direct their steps (Proverbs 3:5-6). In the midst of studying, classes, extracurriculars, and more, we pray that our campus communities are reminded of God's presence. As Deuteronomy 31:8 reminds us, "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." We pray that our member institutions are reminded of what a blessing it is that our God is with us, no matter where we go.

We also praise God for the soon-to-be release of the CCCU's Spring Advance magazine on faith and learning. We thank Him for bringing together various contributors who are committed to integrating the Christian faith into all aspects of higher education. We ask God to plant good seeds of curiosity and hope as we share and promote the value of Christian higher education. May we live out our call to seek out the kingdom of God and his righteousness in all that we do (Matthew 6:33).

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 close of the school year.
