WorldView Center is an international Christian community where believers live and learn together about being an effective witness for Christ in cross-cultural settings.

The WorldView Center was established in 1995 for the purpose of providing a place where international students, who were attending Western Seminary, could live together safely and together learn to function in a culture that was not their own.

Today, WorldView Center provides housing for international students and others who share a common focus on cross-cultural ministry. At WorldView we seek to build a “third culture” – a culture that is a blend of all the cultures represented in the community and a culture to which no one in particular can lay claim.  While in the USA, we focus on the Majority World as our “reference point.”

When you live at WorldView Center you are daily rubbing shoulders with other like-minded men and women; men and women with a focus on the entire world, not just a small corner. 

Living at WorldView Center is not primarily a convenient, inexpensive place to find housing. Rather the goal is that you are a significant part of a vital Christian community. Each resident has responsibilities to fulfill as a part of their residency and residents are expected to play an active role in community life. Living at WorldView is both a challenge and a blessing. If this sounds like something that might interest you, please submit an application.
