Become a Centurion!
The Centurions Program prepares you to navigate today’s culture with a Christian perspective. Join an ongoing and growing network of Christ-followers to develop your inner faith in a way that results in outward action. Gain confidence, understanding and knowledge as you apply biblical truth to every aspect of your life.

What makes the Centurions Program unique?
  • A focus on inward formation that results in outward actions. Discover how your Christian faith not only guides your own personal beliefs and decisions, but how it can guide your actions to make a positive, meaningful impact on those around you.
  • The combination of intellectual and spiritual formation. Centurions develop critical thinking skills, but also gain a deeper understanding of who God is, what it means to be made in the Image of God, and a broader understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
  • Access to the large and growing network of Centurions, Centurions Program staff and faculty, and ministry collaborators
  • Emphasis on ongoing ministry engagement, collaboration and growth.

Students will learn through:
  • Two weekend resident training sessions - one in Pittsburgh and one outside of Washington, DC
