WHY FAITH FRONTIERS?
In recent years, many Evangelical colleges have embraced a liberal arts approach to higher education that centers intellectual virtues and preparation for life-long learning. Despite this, one increasingly important aspect of liberal arts has been absent from campus: exposure to and appreciation for deep differences.
As America becomes increasingly diverse and also polarized, it is important that future faith and civic leaders can appreciate and navigate deep differences. NF believes that Christian colleges can champion this, and we have designed successful programs like Boundless that energize their faculty, staff, and students about engaging across faiths. At recent events, nearly 40% of students said they became interested in working across faiths to improve society—many for the first time.
This work is timely and urgent. Christians and Muslims remain deeply divided in perception, with high levels of mutual suspicion. Yet research shows that these divides are fueled by unfamiliarity—not irreconcilable values. Faith Frontiers brings relationship-building into a formative moment in students' lives, helping them encounter difference with empathy, courage, and conviction.

FAQ's
What's expected of faculty?
Faith Frontiers is a true partnership between Neighborly Faith and faculty. We work closely with you to align the dialogue with your course objectives, identify appropriate topics, and shape the tone of the experience. One key part of this collaboration is helping identify the right students in your class to lead the conversation—and ensuring they feel prepared, confident, and supported.
You remain the host and authority in the classroom. Many faculty choose to introduce the event, offer context, or help debrief afterward – though some simply observe. Our team handles the logistics and virtual coordination, but we rely on your insight and presence to make the dialogue a success. This isn’t a “drop-in” session—it’s a shared effort to create something meaningful for your students.
