A Christian Program for Rising Young Professionals

Explore Biblical and Practical Theology

“A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his own age.”

—C. S. Lewis

Leadership Development

Briarwood Fellows is, at its core, a leadership development program. We will help you become more effective in your industry through professional development seminars, weekly “Leadership Lunches” which will put you in touch with local Christian business and nonprofit leaders, and hands-on service opportunities at Briarwood Presbyterian Church and our community service partners. Our leadership development is practical theology which gives the Fellows a foundation, rooted in Christ, to support them as they go out into the marketplace.
