The Upper Room Gathering

The Upper Room Gathering was established in January 2017 by a group of “Deeply committed Christians (Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox) who are university educators and other culture leaders”. Our participants - professors, researchers, and business and ministry leaders - believe that the academy and the larger culture desperately needs transformation, and that serious Christian academics and other high-level professionals must increase our engagement in the larger public through major media and contemporary popular publications. Never was there a time when this was more needed than now. The Upper Room Gathering believes that with God’s help we can increase our public engagement.

The Upper Room Gathering is a 501c3 non-profit corporation.
