Where intentional friendships rooted in Jesus change the world.

Who Are We?

The Center for Faith and Leadership serves the students of the University of Mary Washington and the Fredericksburg community as a ministry-focused living room setting for discipleship, community events, group study sessions, life-giving conversations, memories, encounters with Jesus, and home-cooked meals. We exist to relationally empower and equip students of UMW to create an ever expanding family of deeply connected Christians in Fredericksburg. We invite others to participate in the power of God through deep relationship with Him & each other. Through attending to His presence, we experience powerful, loving transformation to every area of life.

“The Center has created a spiritual family that champions me, challenges me, laughs with me, cries with me, but most importantly points me to Jesus. The Center gives me space to be championed as a leader and share the true gospel with my friends and family.”
