Carmen House
The nature of education in a public university setting can tend to cause fragmentation of people’s public and private lives, often assuming the irrelevance of religious perspectives and experience to the pursuit of knowledge.
Carmen House Christian Study Center seeks to provide a hospitable place for the OSU community to explore deep questions about the Christian faith in relation to learning, vocation, and human flourishing. We seek to be a greenhouse for Christian spiritual formation, demonstrating the vitality and wisdom of the Christian faith for the life of the university.

Aaron Badenhop, Executive Director
After undergraduate studies at OSU and 20 years of campus ministry experience with Cru at Ohio State, Aaron has sensed a call to found a Christian Study Center for the OSU community. Aaron received a Master of Divinity degree from Ashland Theological Seminary, and was awarded a Doctor of Ministry degree in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Portland Seminary of George Fox University. His research has focused on equipping Christian faculty in the secular academy to integrate their faith with their roles, to live on mission in the university setting.
