The Christian Association
Progressive, Inclusive, Welcoming
The Christian Association at the University of Pennsylvania (CA) is a community of hospitality, service and advocacy, and faith exploration. We strive to live out the Gospel message -- to bring God’s love to Penn students (both undergraduate and graduate students), faculty, staff and neighbors. We welcome every person into our doors regardless of religious affiliation, orientation, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race or gender.
Weekly Gatherings
Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 for dinner and discussion. Currently discussion is in person and meals are grab and go, but we hope to resume eating together as it warms up!
