Bio

Mike Karim has served in campus ministry in North America among domestic and international students, graduate students, and faculty. His ministry has moved from LA, to the Central Valley of California, to Houston, and back to LA. Dr. Karim is also a Fuller alumnus. His research attends to explanations of how young adults from Western culture come to faith, sustain it, as well as depart from the faith—all while constrained and enabled by racism and other inequities.
