Why is it important?

This paper contributes to the growing body of literature about Black Christian students in higher education. Those seeking to understand and holistically support Black Christian college students should be attentive to their spiritual development journeys.

Perspectives

Writing this paper was enjoyable, as I appreciated the opportunity to amplify Black Christian college students' voices. I hope this paper continues to shed light on the need for higher education to continue exploring the intersections of race, religion, and spirituality.
