Spiritual Life

Houston Christian University offers students a unique opportunity within the modern academic world and that is the ability to grow spiritually while developing academically. By combining faith and reason, HCU provides its students a more holistic education. This education is backed not only by the liberal arts and technical skills, but also by the teachings of Christ and the lessons and wisdom found within the Bible.

As an HCU student, you won’t only find faith in the classroom and in the chapel. You’ll find plenty of bible studies, community outreach programs and other ways to become a more Christ-centered person, not to mention a whole community of other students who share your desire to learn about and live for God.

Community Life and Worship (CLW)

CLW is more than a graduation requirement. HCU presents students with an endless number of opportunities to grow spiritually while developing leadership skills and a sense of civic responsibility. All across campus, in classrooms, residence colleges, learning communities, and more, you will be challenged to live intentionally a life that learns to "Love God and Love Others."
