The BSC Fellows Program offers undergraduate and graduate students a biblical and theological foundation during their time at Virginia Tech. The program combines rich community and conversation, Christian spiritual formation, and the historic resources of the Christian tradition, helping students to see their studies and callings in the light of the gospel. This multi-semester program aims to provide a grounding in the best of what the Christian tradition—the Bible, the early church, and more recent Christian writers—says about what it means to bring our whole lives into God’s story for the world.


The BSC Fellows Program includes:
Spiritual and Intellectual Formation
We want to immerse students in the riches of the Christian intellectual tradition, and find meaningful ways to connect the Christian faith to our everyday lives. We’ll explore major themes in the Bible’s overall narrative, and read great thinkers like Augustine, C.S. Lewis, and Flannery O’Connor.
Cohort-based Learning
In small discussion groups, fellows explore important themes in the Christian faith and how it informs their everyday lives. Led by trained facilitators, students journey together in discovering how God works in history and in our present context. Reading for each week will be around 15-20 pages.
Building Community
We meet weekly for dinner during the semester, providing an opportunity for students to connect with others from different church and campus ministry backgrounds, and invited VT faculty (a BSC “senior fellow”). Several times per semester, fellows are invited to share a meal at a professor’s home.
