Leaders Matter
Leaders developed at Brown University shape the future of our country by determining what media gets disseminated, what laws get passed, and how major decisions get made. Brown has produced influential figures including media mogul Ted Turner, actress Emma Watson, radio personality Ira Glass, and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.
Today, however, we see many examples of failing leadership. We are a country that does not always protect the most vulnerable among us, that worships idols like money and fame, and that is focused on secular, earthly goals rather than spiritual and eternal ones. Raising up godly leaders at Brown is the start of having God at the center of our culture. Christian Union Libertas, which ministers to Brown students, invites you to become a partner in creating faithful leaders to transform our nation.
Who is shaping tomorrow's leaders?
A handful of universities and cities have an outsized influence on our nation’s culture. Nearly 70 percent of the nation’s most influential leaders come from just one percent of schools. Many of these institutions, including Brown, were founded on Christian principles. In 1763, James Manning, a Baptist minister who had graduated from the College of New Jersey (later known as Princeton) the year before, was sent to Rhode Island by the Philadelphia Association of Baptist Churches to found the college that eventually became Brown.
Today, however, Brown is decidedly secular and, in many cases, overtly antagonistic to the Christian faith. This rocky ground is where Christian Union Libertas sets its stake.
Become a partner in developing and connecting these Christian leaders.
Christian Union Libertas believes that widespread proclamation of the gospel and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit will transform Brown and, as a result, our nation. The ministry pursues this kind of awakening through mentoring and in-depth Bible study that honors the needs of the intellectual and intensely motivated students at Brown.
Highly-qualified ministry faculty guide and challenge students into a deep understanding of the Christian faith while also teaching them the foundations of seeking God with their whole heart. Through Bible courses and discipleship they learn to seek God’s purpose for their lives and graduate ready to do His work in the world. After graduation, Christian Union continues to nurture Brown alumni with the faith and power to reshape our institutions through our alumni engagement programs and through CU New York.
