Lewis Institute of Charlotte seeks to serve the Church of Jesus Christ in Charlotte by developing disciples of all denominations and traditions who can articulate, defend and live faith in Christ in public and personal life; we are an extension of the C.S. Lewis Institute in Washington D.C., which began in 1976 and stresses discipleship of mind and the heart.

The Fellows Program
The CSLI Fellows Program offers a year of intensive training that leads to significant life-change.

This year-long program is designed for those who want to live as fully committed disciples of Jesus Christ and make an impact for him in the world.
