This week the blog is sponsored by Redeemer University.
Choosing a university amidst the rising cost of living, rapid technological advancement, a changing job market, and a polarized, increasingly secular cultural context can be a daunting decision for Christians. The world is also much noisier than it was for previous generations, oversaturated with messages urging young adults to read this, watch that, comment, get involved, fight for justice, tell your story, get a job, chase your dreams, be authentic, reach for success… change the world!
Many of these messages strike a chord, but the noise can be overwhelming. Let’s turn down the volume for a minute.
What if there was a place for the next generation to figure out what they like and are good at? A place to ask big questions like, does my faith matter when it comes to business or science, media or politics, social work, health, music, art, history or education?
Is there a place that prepares young adults for their future career, where they can learn inside and outside the classroom and are a part of a community that lives and thinks together, worships, plays, laughs and even struggles together?
Redeemer University is that place. A place to quiet the noise and listen for God’s calling, explore what that looks like in many disciplines, get ready for the future and grow in faith through it all.
Perhaps you’ve never heard of Redeemer University or know very little. It’s the largest Reformed University in Canada, with nearly 1100 students, six undergraduate degree options and 35 majors and streams. Distinct from bible colleges and seminaries, Redeemer offers programs in the social sciences, the humanities, business, the natural sciences and mathematics. Redeemer also seeks to meet the needs of the wider Christian community through certificate programs and microcredentials and is planning to launch graduate degrees in 2026.

Rooted deeply in the Reformed tradition, Redeemer students, faculty and staff come from over 45 denominations. This unique and spiritually vibrant academic community is unified by a commitment to the authority of Scripture and a comprehensive biblical worldview. The perspective that Jesus Christ is Lord of every square inch permeates the entire Redeemer experience as we are called to join his redemptive work in every area of creation.
Located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on a beautiful 86-acre campus, Redeemer is only 45 minutes west of Toronto, and Buffalo, NY, is less than an hour to the southeast.
Many might assume that affordability is out of the picture. With the help of its generous donor community, Redeemer is committed to affordable tuition which is currently under $10,000 CDN (roughly $7422 USD). In Canada, that is comparable to a public university education and less than the cost of many private Christian elementary and high schools.
Today’s students are being pulled in a hundred different directions as they try to make sense of their purpose and future. At Redeemer, faith is woven through all aspects of learning and life to create a transformative academic experience that prepares students to reflect the love of Jesus Christ in every career and calling.
