HORIZONS & PERKINS FELLOWS
The Vision
The Theological Horizons Fellows Program supports students as they wrestle with concepts of calling through constraints and commitments, reflecting Theological Horizons’ desire to discover Christ at the intersection of faith, thought, and life. Fellows are selected through a competitive application process and commit to a year-long program. Horizon Fellow applicants must be Fourth Years who will soon transition from college. However, students from any year may apply to be a Perkins Fellow. Pulling students from a variety of denominational, theological and ethnic backgrounds, a prominent goal of the Fellows program is for students to experience the unity of Christ (John 17) alongside the plurality of expressions of those committed to the Christian faith and following Jesus.

What Fellows Are Saying
-
“This program stood out from other Christian programs because it was so personalized and intimate. I encountered people that were outside my daily orbit. I made life-long friendships and learned to engage with people different than me.”

“I think what is so great about the Perkins Fellows program is that it quickly grows into something so much bigger. If you let it, your 'site' can become your home and your 'organization' your family.”

“Horizons is a great opportunity to explore what it looks like to live out your faith and its implications, talking through questions and doubts in an open environment that invites them without judgement.”
