History

In 1983 Rick and Sue Howe moved to Boulder, Colorado to establish Dayspring Center for Christian Studies. For more than two decades, students at the University of Colorado have been able to take courses in Christian studies for college credit, through Dayspring’s partnership with Denver Seminary. In 2004 Dayspring received a substantial grant from the CIOS Foundation to launch new centers in Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, Colorado, and entered into a partnership with Northwestern College to establish Christian studies for college credit at these new locations. In 2005 Dayspring officially changed its name to Centers for Christian Study, International, with three affiliate centers in Colorado, representing the first phase of its expansion plans.
