We have some great events happening this fall at the Study Center!
Carolina Way Camp, August 15-17
Carolina Way Camp is a first-year orientation experience for incoming freshmen who know or are seeking to know Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity for students to build friendships and be welcomed into the Christian community at UNC. Campers will spend each day bonding with other campers through group events, free time activities, and daily sessions including worship and teaching from Scripture. Topics will include Christian community, mental health, and faithfully following Christ in college.
Our mission is to offer incoming first years friendship and an all-encompassing picture of what it looks like to follow Jesus at UNC — to live for Christ with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Luke 10:27).
Do not worry? Christian Students and the Challenge of Anxiety: Healthcare Fellowship Forum

C.S. Lewis Onstage at Memorial Hall
September 27th, 7:30 PM-9:00 PM
Looking for a night out that’s entertaining and thought-provoking?
Don’t miss Max McLean’s electrifying performance in Further Up and Further In, a theatrical dive into the mind of C.S. Lewis—one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
Max McLean brings C.S. Lewis to life with dynamic personality, razor-sharp wit and powerful eloquence. This isn’t just a play; it’s an immersive, multimedia experience that will captivate and inspire.
This isn’t your average night at the theatre. It’s an unforgettable journey into the heart and mind of C.S. Lewis, followed by a post-show Q&A with Max McLean himself. Perfect for ages 13 and up, though not suitable for young kids.
Whether you’re a literature buff, a history enthusiast, a student in the performing arts, or just looking for an evening of stellar entertainment, Further Up and Further In is a must-see. Grab your friends and get ready for a night that’s both fun and intellectually stimulating. Don’t miss out!

Hungry for Truth, Dealing with Doubt: An Evening with Gavin Ortlund & Molly Worthen
October 3rd, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM @ the Study Center
How many of us really want to know the truth? If we were to honestly seek the truth, where would it lead? And how should we respond when what we learn calls into question what we used to be sure about?
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Gavin Ortlund and Dr. Molly Worthen as they discuss truth-seeking, confidence, and the place of doubt in the journey of faith. They’ll offer advice on how we can come alongside friends and family who are wrestling with doubt, and how we can process our own while continuing to seek the Truth, who is Christ.
