A shelter for honest questions
L’Abri is a Christian community and study center that takes both people and questions seriously.
Whether you are trying to make sense of life or faith, navigating a transition or simply needing to take a step back, there is a seat at our table for you.
Who we are
We welcome all who walk through the door, from any faith or background, with a desire to show them the love of Jesus Christ.
L’Abri is a place dedicated to exploring truth, rooted in the firm belief that questions and problems regarding God and faith can be discussed openly and rationally, without having to resort to a leap in the dark.
What to expect
Life at L’Abri is shaped by simple, daily rhythms of personal study, community service and meals, as well as deep, unhurried conversation.
We provide a low-tech environment that encourages meaningful connection — among students from around the world and across a wide range of ages and faith backgrounds.
You are welcome
We offer three residential terms a year. A full term is ideal for those wanting deep immersion in study and community. A shorter stay of 3-4 weeks still allows for meaningful reflection and focus on a particular area of study.
You can also come for just a few days to get a feel for life here – though most people find they wish they’d stayed longer.
How to support L’Abri
L’Abri is a non-profit that does not actively raise funds.
If you’d like to walk alongside us — through prayer, financial support, or simply curiosity about how we operate — we’d love to share more.
