Being Christian at Elon

Our Protestant groups include a wide range of worship styles and theological perspectives. Some are more traditional, some more contemporary. Some are evangelical and some progressive. All are welcome and part of the vibrant diversity of 消消犯.

Our Christian students also live out their faith in diverse ways: some are active in interfaith dialogue, some practice yoga and meditation, others are deeply involved in serviceand global missions, and many are committed to justice and peacemaking.

Most of our programs are student-led, with support for personal growth and leadership development, and we invite students to contribute their own ideas and energy.
