A Common Call

Through A Common Call weekend conferences, you can engage with faculty from around the world who are honoring Christ in their teaching, research, and service.

What we’re often missing as Christ-following faculty:

Hearing from others who have honored Christ in their teaching, research, and service

The chance to network with colleagues from other universities

Exploring with other Christian professors our common call to the university and the world

Opportunities to share ideas for effective ministry

Want to host an A Common Call conference?

Whether local, virtual, or both, our experienced conference team can guide you through the process of gathering Christian colleagues together for encouragement, networking, and fresh ideas for ministry.

“Professors are busy people, but A Common Call conferences give us a great opportunity to meet colleagues and learn strategies that are practical to use to make an eternal impact on our campuses.”

Phil Bishop, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Kinesiology, University of Alabama
