What We Do

A Home Away From Home

Since 1975, the Center for Christian Study has served as a home for faith and learning at the University of Virginia. We are open 24/7 at 128 Chancellor Street for anyone who needs a quiet place to study, a free cup of coffee, a space to ask hard questions, or friends who feel like family.
