One of our deepest needs as followers of Christ is fellowship with other believers. GFM hosts events which explore the unique calling of following Christ in academia and other spheres of influence. These events equip faculty and grad students to explore the intersection of faith and work alongside other Christ-followers in the academy and professions.
As Christians in academia, we often face unique challenges when it comes to integrating our faith with our role in the university. Join me and other university faculty June 27–June 30, 2019, at the Blue Ridge Faculty Conference. Hear from Christian scholars and step away from the busyness of campus life to enjoy the company of colleagues as well as families.
