It is a chance to think, learn, and be inspired by a Christian vision of God’s call on our lives. It features main sessions and additional workshops dedicated to exploring a broad and deep Christian vision of calling and career. Faith & Culture Symposium Montreat College is committed to helping our students develop their ability to experience, engage, and learn from culture within the context of a Christ-centered worldview. As part of this commitment, the biennial Faith & Culture Symposium is designed to foster student engagement with the cultural arts: music, literature, film, theatre, and visual art. We acknowledge the centrality of the arts to the human experience, both as an expression of the human condition and as a revelation of God’s character, and we believe that the experience of the arts collectively is an essential part of a full Christian life and education. Cavalier Care Day Cavalier Care Day is Montreat’s way of intentionally showing care to the greater community. For one day annually, close to 400 students, athletic coaches, and staff members work together in small teams to address needs at local organizations. With an emphasis on service and character, students are seen volunteering at schools and churches, collecting food, cleaning up trash, sprucing up green spaces, assisting Veterans and the elderly, and beyond.
