Equipping Christians with Clarity, Confidence, and Courage for this Cultural Moment
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. (February 18, 2026) – The Colson Center today announced that applications for the 2026-2027 Colson Fellows Program are now open. The Colson Fellows program equips Christians with clarity, confidence, and courage so they can live faithfully in this cultural moment.
“What the world needs now more than ever is men and women formed by Christian wisdom,” said S. Michael Craven Vice President and Dean of Colson Fellows. “The Colson Fellows program is intentionally formative – shaping how Christians think, discern, and live out a Christian worldview faithfully within their vocations, relationships, and communities.”
The Colson Fellows program is a ten-month spiritual and intellectual formation experience for adults in all stages of life. Participants are immersed in the biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration and learn to see the world through the Gospel as a comprehensive vision of reality.
The in-person program is offered in more than 90 cities in the United States and nine other countries, while the online program is available across all four U.S. time zones. To see a full list of regional, online, and international Colson Fellow cohorts, click here.
The program is designed for men and women with busy and complex lives and includes:
Participants will hear from Colson Fellows faculty like John Stonestreet, Os Guinness, Sean McDowell, Dr. Glenn Sunshine, Joni Eareckson Tada, Christopher Yuan, Kristen Waggoner, Scott Klusendorf, Carl Trueman, Alisa Childers and others.
In a culture full of competing stories about meaning, identity, and purpose, Colson Fellows gain the clarity to see the world as it truly is, the confidence to live under the Lordship of Christ, and the courage to act faithfully in their callings. Through Scripture, serious study, and a committed learning community, participants move beyond merely knowing a Christian worldview to actually inhabiting it—here and now, for the good of their neighbors and the glory of God.
Architect Derek Hartman and 2024 Colson Fellow said, “Previously, I was a ‘detached’ Christian. I lacked confidence in my faith as well as clarity to see how it affected my life beyond Sunday mornings. Now, I understand what I am saved for, not just what I am saved from.”
Business Broker and 2023 Colson Fellow King Baldwin explained, “It’s [Colson Fellows] a life changing program. I really consider it a kind of master's program for growing in the Christian worldview. I would encourage anyone considering it to go through the program. Anyone can do it, and they need to!”
More than 6,000 men and women across the globe have been commissioned upon completing the Colson Fellows program.
