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 welcomes the OSU community to explore the wisdom of Jesus Christ for academic life and human flourishing.

Aaron Badenhop, Executive Director
After undergraduate studies at OSU and 20 years of campus ministry experience at Ohio State through Cru and CMDA, 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. Aaron also serves part-time as a lecturer in the OSU GenEd Bookends program, and is Spiritual Theologian in Residence at Hope EPC.
