About the Wagner Faith & Freedom Center
Our Mission​
Housed on the campus of Spring Arbor University, the Wagner Faith & Freedom Center serves as the nation’s academic voice for faith and freedom.
​
Working daily to secure the future for freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, the center equips the next generation with strategies to transform the culture. Contending for the faith, the center strategically works to ensure the next generation may share the Gospel free of persecution.
