The 2024 Christian Study Abroad Summit
April 24 - 26
Lynchburg, Virginia
Join us for the first Christian Study Abroad Summit where a community of like-minded Christ followers in Study Abroad and Christian Higher Education can learn and network together.
The First Christian Study Abroad Summit
We recognize that there are phenomenal organizations that serve as leading experts in traditional study abroad such as the Forum on Education Abroad, NAFSA, and Institute of International Education.
Christian colleges, universities, and study abroad providers are well served by these organizations. What is missing, though, is a space for Christians to build community, collaborate, explore the nuances and unique challenges of Christian Study Abroad programming, and discern how the great commission can form our thinking around global engagement.
