Absolutely not! While Centenary College is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, CLC students come from many different Christian traditions. It is this diversity that makes us so unique. Learning to love, listen, and work with one another helps promote religious tolerance and a rich appreciation for differences. We have had students affiliated with Assembly of God, Baptist, Methodist Presbyterian, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Episcopalian, non-denominational, and several other traditions. We have even included non-Christian students who seek to learn more about Christianity.
