What is Areopagus?

Areopagus is a campus ministry based on these propositions:

  • The Christian message has continuing relevance to the context of higher education
  • Learning and faith should work together and complement each other in the Christian life
  • The work we do at the university—learning, teaching, researching and serving—should be an integral part of our Christian walk

We offer regular programming for faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduates.

The Areopagus ministry director is Randy Gabrielse (Ph.D., Michigan State, 2002). He can be reached at RandyG@isu-areopagus.org or
