The Colson Fellows at Northside



The Colson Fellows Program is a ten-month journey of Christian formation that grounds believers in the true Story of reality and equips them to live faithfully within it. In a culture awash in competing stories about meaning, identity, and purpose, Colson Fellows gain the clarity to see the world as it truly is, the confidence to live under the Lordship of Christ, and the courage to act faithfully in their callings. Through Scripture, serious study, and a committed learning community, participants move beyond merely knowing a Christian worldview to actually inhabiting it—here and now, for the good of their neighbors and the glory of God.

Program Overview

Colson Fellows from across the globe complete a rigorous course of study that begins each August and concludes with their commissioning in May of the following year. Candidates follow a daily curriculum that is carefully curated and updated each year, read 11-13 books, and attend two live webinars each month with leading Christian thinkers in which they are able to engage in a lively, free-flowing exchange of ideas.
