Flagler College's Center for Religion and Culture creates scholarship, community outreach, and student learning and study abroad opportunities.

About Us

We promote dialogue and the study of religion on campus and among Northeast Florida residents.

Flagler College has a unique advantage in exploring religious beliefs and practices. That's because we have history.

You can see Henry Flagler's respect for religion, culture, and civic duty in many places in St. Augustine, in the houses of worship he built. But long before Flagler, the native people here—the Timucua—established a rich religious culture that deserves to be discovered. So do the religious cultures of the Africans and Europeans who lived here during the colonial times.

Built on the rich foundation of this history, Flagler College is committed to shaping the future of dialogue, practices that shape our communities, and cultivating unique opportunities for students to chart their own paths forward.
