CCU is a private, interdenominational institution, with a heritage dating back to 1914, and a mission to serve God by providing Christ-centered higher education.


Why Colorado?


Colorado Christian University is located in Lakewood, a suburb on the edge of the majestic Rocky Mountains, ten minutes west of Denver. Such a unique location provides CCU students with the best of both worlds. Whether you’re into extreme outdoor adventure like skiing and rock climbing or you’re more interested in attending plays and poetry readings, CCU’s suburban campus offers easy access to both outdoor recreation and cultural activities. And with an average 300 days of sunshine per year and a beautiful blue Colorado sky, you’ll enjoy whatever activity you choose to pursue.


Why Christian?


At CCU, faith is part of the educational experience both inside and outside the classroom. We intentionally present opportunities for students to gain greater knowledge about faith and the Bible, to grow in their personal relationship with God, and to use their God-given gifts to reach out to the world. This process takes place in the context of a Christ-centered community that offers freedom and accountability, opportunities to lead and to serve, a chance to ask questions and seek out answers. The goal is to help students develop thoughtful Christian perspectives that build a foundation for the rest of their lives.
