The work of the Louisville Institute is carried out by a small team committed to the Institute’s fundamental mission to enrich the religious life of North American Christians through grants, fellowships, and convening. The LI team is a unique collection of experiences, perspective, and hospitality.

“I’m grateful for the work of the LI. For pastors, religious educators, and academic researchers, it remains a vital center for sponsoring high quality empirical research, allowing all of us to avoid speculation and discern what is actually happening with religion in the world.”
