Mission
The MacLaurin Institute bridges church and university in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, bringing theological resources to the university and academic resources to the church. Our goal is to strengthen Christian intellectual life in this region by creating public space for leaders in the academy and church to address enduring human questions together. While the MacLaurin Institute is grounded in the Christian tradition as articulated in Scripture and summarized by the ecumenical creeds, our conversations are open to all.
