For Furman Students
Followship Groups
Followship Small Groups | Sign up here! MCF small groups, called Followship groups, are a place to find a smaller intentional community on campus or virtually. Each group consists of 5-10 students, and is led by a Mere Christianity Forum staff member or student leader. The aim is to create a safe space to ask hard questions of doubt, faith and morality, and grounding this supportive space in a web of meaningful relationships.
Theological Forums
Theological Forums/CLP Speakers | We invite a variety of guest speakers to campus to promote conversation about urgent philosophical, political and social issues relevant to our communities, and ground these conversations in the Christian faith.
Evening With Dinners
“Evening With” Dinner Dialogues - Enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal at the Vista House while listening to a Furman professor discuss topics of faith, family, vocation, personal challenges and purpose. Like to cook? There are lots of opportunities to help plan and prep the dinners throughout the semester.
Student Board
MCF Student Board - Our ministry was created by Furman students. So if you enjoy what we're up to, we'd love to have your voice at a our student board meeting. Make sure you are signed up for student emails on syncdin to know when these are happening!
LIve off campus
Residential Community at Vista House - Do you love home-cooked meals and serving your fellow Furman students with hospitality? How does praying together as a community and living out your faith sound? If you are interested in living in intentional Christian community and experiencing the richness of a life focused on hospitality and community, apply to live at Vista House, located at 751 Old Buncombe Rd in Travelers Rest along the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Each academic year (August 15 - May 15), 5 to 8 Furman students (juniors, seniors, and recent graduates) live at the house. Learn more here.
Summer program
Servant Scholars Summer Program - want to serve a nonprofit, gain valuable internship experience, and live in Christian community at the Vista House this summer? Then you might be a great fit for our Servant Scholars Program. Learn more here.
