Leaders Matter

Leaders developed at Harvard University shape the future of our country by determining what media gets disseminated, what laws get passed, and how major decisions get made. Harvard has produced eight U.S. Presidents, countless Nobel prize winners, and innovators and industry titans including Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

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, such as money and fame, and that is focused on secular, earthly goals rather than spiritual and eternal ones. Christian Union Gloria, which ministers to and resources students involved in Harvard College Faith and Action (HCFA), 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 Harvard, were founded on Christian principles. Harvard was founded to train ministers. Harvard’s charter states the school’s purpose to be “the education of the English and Indian youth of this country, in knowledge and godliness.” Today, however, Harvard is decidedly secular and, at times, even overtly antagonistic to the Christian faith. This rocky ground is where Christian Union Gloria sets its stake. Christian students, wrestling with and growing in their faith, need to be reassured that to follow Christ is not only a plausible and intellectually viable way of life, but to be desired above all others.

Become a partner in developing and connecting these Christian leaders.

Christian Union Gloria believes that widespread proclamation of the Gospel and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit will transform Harvard and as a result, our nation. This new spiritual vitality will be built by students shaped at Harvard. The ministry develops leaders through mentoring and in-depth biblical study that honors the needs of the intellectual, intensely motivated students at Harvard.

Highly-qualified ministry faculty guide students in a deep understanding of their Christian faith. 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 partner with Harvard alumni with the faith and power to reshape our institutions through our alumni engagement programs and through CU New York.

Today you can help us make all this possible.
