Overview
Mission
To establish a Christian Study Center serving the students, faculty, and staff of William & Mary, for the Body of Christ in the City of Williamsburg, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the nations. "Christian Study Centers are communities of students and scholars animated by the ancient ideal of faith seeking understanding. Located adjacent to colleges and universities, study centers support and complement their host institutions’ mission to discover and disseminate knowledge by convening conversations that address the big questions of life—questions of meaning, purpose and value." Learn more from the Consortium of Christian Study Centers. Are you affiliated with a particular denomination, church, or campus ministry? No, Cambridge House exists as an independent ministry. Read our Statement of Faith to learn more about our beliefs.
