SPIRITUAL LIFE IN ACU STUDY ABROAD
Each ACU Study Abroad program features multiple weekly opportunities for worship, discussion, biblical study, and engagement with local faith communities. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in local Christian communities. For more information on this fundamental aspect of Study Abroad at ACU, see the “Local Church Communities” section below.
Local Church Communities
One of the hallmarks of the ACU Study Abroad experience is gaining a deeper understanding of the Christian faith as a global movement. ACU students are encouraged to explore the ways history and culture shape the contours of local Christian communities and to join those communities as active members of Christ’s body. The following churches have routinely served as spiritual homes for ACU students abroad. For more information about these communities, you can check out the websites below or consult our local program staff. They can tell you a bit about the character of each church and connect you with local members and/or ministries.
