HI has anyone any knowledge of whether someone who is a strong Christian will feel accepted at this college? We understand there will be many many beliefs on campus which is great. But would a Christian be able to find such things as bible studies and a Student Christian group on campus? My alma Mater no longer allows college Christian groups on campus so I was just curious about wash u.
Thanks!

This list includes information about the various Christian groups on campus and churches nearby. I cannot speak to comfort level on campus, as I am not a Chrisian, but I don’t personally know any Christian students who are unhappy at WashU for religious reasons.
My son is a strong Christian. He has a firm foundation of beliefs. He has participated with Cru at WashU which I think they call Overflow. I believe the organization takes a van on Sundays to a local non-denominational church call Journey. I think the Christian community is a small percentage of students.
He has always felt accepted at WashU. He is also very accepting of others and enjoys knowing people with different beliefs and interests from his own.
As a Christian on campus, there was never a time when I couldn’t find a bible study on campus. There are numerous Christian organizations that can cater to your interest. The best part is that I have always felt welcomed with my strong Christian beliefs. Even though you will definitely encounter people who are from a different/no belief system, you learn how to accept them just the way they are. Hope that helps!
wonderful help thanks!
