The Colson Fellows Program is a ten-month journey of spiritual and intellectual formation designed to help believers grow into mature disciples whose faith shapes every aspect of life. Rooted in the grand biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, this experience forms Christians to see all of reality through the lens of Scripture and to live under the gracious reign of Christ in every sphere.
That is why we are pleased to partner with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview to offer the Colson Fellows Program at Christ Community Church. Click HERE to find out more about why you should become a Colson Fellow.

What is the Colson Fellows Program?
The Colson Fellows Program is a rigorous, ten-month formation experience that compresses a lifetime of Christian wisdom into a focused season of growth. The goal is not simply to understand a Christian worldview, but to live one.
Throughout the year, Colson Fellows-in-Training (CFITs):
- Deepen their understanding of the whole biblical story
- Learn to recognize the formative power of competing worldviews
- Develop habits of discernment rooted in Scripture
- Grow in clarity about their calling and stewardship
- Cultivate clarity, confidence, and courage in Christ
Whether you are new to Christian worldview study or have long engaged in theological reflection, the Colson Fellows Program integrates belief and obedience—so that doctrine shapes character, and character shapes life.
Program Overview
Beginning each August, Colson Fellows-in-Training follow a carefully curated curriculum accessible through the Colson Fellows Online Learning Platform.
Participants will engage 6–8 hours per week in prayerful reading, reflection, and study, including:
- Daily devotionals that integrate theology and lived experience
- 12–14 carefully selected books
- Twice-monthly live webinars with respected Christian thinkers
- Monthly in-person meetings at Christ Community Church. Participants cannot miss more than 2 meetings.
The monthly meetings are the heart of the experience—discussion-driven learning communities where participants process what they are learning together under the guidance of trained Colson Fellows leaders. These gatherings are not lectures, but environments of mutual encouragement, accountability, and spiritual sharpening.
Throughout the year, CFITs thoughtfully examine important issues facing the Church today—not as detached observers, but as disciples asking, “How then shall we live?” The emphasis is not reaction, but faithfulness; not argumentation, but wisdom; not anxiety, but confidence rooted in Christ.
Each participant also develops a Personal Mission Plan designed to help them prayerfully discern how God has uniquely wired and positioned them. This plan flows from the conviction that calling is discovered through surrender, and fruitfulness flows from abiding (John 15).
Costs
Tuition for the Colson Fellows Program at Christ Community Church is $500 (Taking the course through a Regional Cohort instead of a Church Affiliate costs $900). Participants will also purchase books (approximately $200 total) from a vendor of their choice.
