What Is The Colson Fellows Program?
The Colson Fellows Program is a ten-month, transformational experience that equips Christians to understand the world through the lens of the Christian story-and to live that story with clarity, confidence, and courage. Rather than treating faith as a collection of ideas, the program forms participants to see reality rightly, connecting creation, fall, redemption, and restoration into a coherent Christian worldview.
How The Program Works:
• August-May academic year
• Monthly meetings
• Daily Scripture-based devotionals
• Curated readings, videos, and live webinars
• Small-group discussion at the heart of the experience
Most participants invest 6-7 hours per week, often finding the program replaces rather than adds to-their usual devotional and reading rhythms.
Who Is This For?
The Colson Fellows Program is for Christians who:
• Want clarity in a time of cultural confusion
• Desire a deeper, integrated faith
• Seek wisdom, not slogans
• Are ready for a serious but supportive season of formation
Participants come from many vocations and life stages. What unites them is not background-but hunger.
What You'll Gain:
• A clear and coherent Christian worldview
• Discernment to recognize what is true, good, and beautiful
• Confidence engaging difficult cultural issues & conversations
• A clearer sense of your calling and responsibility
• A lifelong community of fellow Colson Fellows
This is not about winning arguments. It's about faithful presence.
