What is the Center for Christian Study?
Creating a home for faith and learning since 1975.
We’re open 24/7 at 128 Chancellor Street for all who need… a quiet place to study, a free cup of coffee, a place to ask hard questions, a place to find friends who feel family, a home away from home.
We are a Christian organization, but you don’t have to be Christian to come here.
We have space for studying, but you don’t have to be studying to come here.

Get Involved
Internship Program
We are continually seeking to worship the Lord by doing the small things–taking out the trash, tidying up spreadsheets, poster graphic design, scrubbing coffee stains off the walls–in community.
Residential Program
The Residential Scholars Program exists to foster intentional community for Christian formation. Residents celebrate together, mourn together, and work through conflict together. Above all, they belong to each other. Male participants live together at the Study Center, and female students live in the “Yellow House” next door.
Emmaus Fellows Program
The Emmaus Fellows is designed to form students in light of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and equip them to more boldly venture out as leaders and disciple-makers into their respective classrooms, ministries, activities, careers, and communities.
