Every Friday during the school year at 7:30PM in Murray-Dodge Hall.

We have Bible studies for undergraduate and graduate students. We’d love to have you join us, so fill out this form and we will get back to you about when and where you can come to meet with us for Bible study!

We would love to dialogue with you about any questions you might have about faith and Christianity. If you fill the “further questions” form below and let us know what’s on your mind, a staff member will be in contact with you and hopefully we can meet up together on campus! To get you started, if you would like to get a handle on the basics of the Christian gospel, there is a great, concise presentation available here. Also, there are some helpful resources for further reading and study about Christianity here at the website for Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC.

Yes, there are many committed Christians at Princeton and there is a vibrant community life on campus. In addition to PEF, the campus is served by several other evangelical fellowships including Princeton Faith & Action, Manna Christian Fellowship, Athletes-in-Action, and Legacy Christian Fellowship. There are many opportunities for growth in faith and active service on the Princeton campus, and we hope that you will be encouraged and be involved in the life of the community when you come to campus!

Yes, the University is open and friendly to the work of campus ministries like PEF on Princeton campus. As the Office of Religious Life states, they “seek to support all religious traditions in the practice and expression of their faith, and we strongly encourage interfaith dialogue and cooperation.”

STUDENTS IN MINISTRY: There are lots of opportunities for students to serve and use the gifts God has given you on the various ministry teams: prayer, missions, outreach, music, communications, fellowship, service, and as student officers.

COMMUNITY: At PEF we are Committed to building a community of believers who love, serve and accept one another – PEF can be more than an activity at Princeton, it really can be a community that becomes like family.

PERSONAL MENTORING: Staff leaders (long-term; trained; wise and mature resource; Princeton alumni) and interns (recent grads) provide teaching and life-counsel in small, class-based Bible studies and weekly one-on-one times (“personal hours”).

DIVERSITY: We are Committed to a diverse but unified body of believers. We don’t target a specific type of student or denomination and come alongside anyone who wishes to know and grow in Christ.

BIBLICAL EXPOSITION: Friday night large group meetings are a time of fellowship and fun as well as Bible teaching – recent series includes: Sermon on the Mount, Acts, The Psalms, The Minor Prophets.

INTENTIONAL 4-YEAR PLAN: Class-based Bible studies focused on practical issues first-year students face and Salvation History (freshman year), Ephesians and Teaching the Bible (sophomore year), a gospel (junior year), and practical issues graduating seniors face (senior year).

SUPPORT AND APOLOGETICS: At PEF, we seek to provide biblical answers to hard questions and support and wisdom to counter arguments made against Christianity.

MISSIONS-MINDED: Nearly 40 PEF missionaries are serving around the world, not only do we support them financially and through prayer, but we also take trips to visit them and serve alongside them.

ALUMNI FAMILY: We also have a commitment to providing ongoing care to our alumni family which spans 70+ years, and about 1000 people.

No, PEF only exists at Princeton, and we are not connected with any national organization. We were founded in 1931 by a Princeton alumnus, and have served on Princeton’s campus since then.

PEF is supported by the gifts of a large group of alumni, friends, and churches, who are committed to PEF’s mission on the Princeton campus. If you would like to support us, more information on how to do that is available here. We do not receive funding from Princeton University.
