A Living-Learning Community Co-Creating the Church of Tomorrow
Join us
Pathways@CTU is a new living-learning community for young adults — especially those from Hispanic/Latin@, African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized groups — who are passionate about co-creating the Church of tomorrow. Pathways students are working to co-create the Church we wish to see in the world: one that embodies love, justice, and inclusivity.
Pathways@CTU allows students to create the kind of community programming that reflects the changing needs of the Church, while preparing for ministry that focuses on justice and activism.
Over the course of two years, Pathways students will earn a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies while receiving:
- Full-tuition scholarship
- Graduate assistantship with stipend
- Intentional community living with housing provided
- Integrated personal and community formation
- Leadership development
