A warm, hospitable place & a greenhouse for growth.

Carmen House Christian Study Center seeks to provide a hospitable place for the OSU community to explore deep questions about the Christian faith in relation to learning, vocation, and human flourishing. We seek to be a greenhouse for Christian spiritual formation, demonstrating the vitality and wisdom of the Christian faith for the life of the university.

We are a partner of the Consortium of Christian Study Centers

We envision…

  • Christian and non-Christian students having a judgment-free place to be honest about their questions and doubts.

  • Christian students holistically growing in their faith, including their academic pursuits.

  • Christian faculty at OSU that are actively integrating their faith with their academic work in the university, while being given opportunities outside of the classroom setting to share their lives and perspectives with others in the campus community.

  • Non-Christian students and faculty encountering the people and programs of Carmen House, and being welcomed and surprised by the wisdom and beauty of the way of Jesus Christ.
