According to the Barna Group, nearly two-thirds of U.S. 18 to 29 year olds who grew up in church indicate that they have withdrawn from church involvement as an adult after having been active as a child or teen. In fact, only 10% of twentysomethings practice what could be called “resilient faith.”
At College of Athens, we are passionate about moving those statistics in a Kingdom-advancing direction by raising up a generation of Christian leaders who will transform communities with the love and power of Christ.
Your church can help ensure that we raise up college students who lead effectively with strong faith and an unshakeable resolve to transform others with God’s love and grace.
In the current culture, strong spiritual development for the rising generation matters. Godly leaders cause the organizations they lead to thrive by instilling both values and vision, and by increasing the capacity of those they lead, helping others develop into their fullest and best selves. At CoA, we’re passionate about developing leaders who make a difference in the church, in the business world, and across the globe.
With degrees in Transformational Leadership and Christian Ministry, CoA equips students to demonstrate:
