What is your timeline? 

 

In Spring of 2025, we will begin to transform our house at 1203 Polo Road into a welcoming location for the Wake Forest Community.

 

We anticipate opening our doors to the public in August of 2025.

​

What is your relationship to Wake Forest? 

​

We are a non-profit Christian ministry. We are not affiliated formally to the University but hope to have a close relationship with the University. We hope to support and extend Christian ministry to Wake's students, faculty, staff, and broader university community.

​

Are you a campus ministry? 

 

No. We exist to support and extend the work of campus ministries. We are not a campus fellowship group like RUF or AIA. Traditionally, these groups through a combination of pastoral care, weekly worship, and small groups are the primary source of Christian formation for college students. We hope to be a hub that strengthens those ministries by providing a beautiful space to meet with students, a library, and practical support. And, we hope to extend the work of campus ministries by providing elective theological or biblical  short-courses and conversations about vocation or “faith and work.”  We hope to be the catalyst for larger “Veritas Forum-like” events at Wake which are co-hosted by campus ministries. 

 

But, yes, we are a campus ministry, because our deepest desire is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by inviting students into a place where his body, the church, is unified and the life of our staff embodies his life. We desire to enhance and compliment all the Lord is already doing at Wake.

Can only Christians come to the Christian Study Center? 

 

No! Jesus said Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.  We are following him and will welcome all who come looking for a home away from home.
