FCGS was formed in 1990 as a nondenominational outreach by committed
faculty and graduate students from different Christian communions and varied
departments and programs. This has included Physics and Astronomy, Philosophy,
English, Legal Studies, Computer Science, and Telecommunication and as FCGS has served as a campus forum
for fellowship, Bible study, discipleship, and discussion of a broad range of issues in science, history, and theology. Originally an
outreach of Bowling Green Covenant Church, FCGS is now also nationally affiliated with University Christian Grads We believe, with the apostle Paul, that "all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ" (Col. 2:3), and that
therefore "all truth is God's truth."
Since its inception, FCGS has served more than 350 students as they have
pursued and completed M.A., M.F.A., and Ph.D degress while deepening their
faith and walk with God. |
