GCU was founded on Christian principles that can still be seen daily through the communities on campus. Every Monday, students fill GCU Arena for optional Chapel services that include student-led worship, messages from local pastors and prayer. GCU also hosts a completely student-run service on Tuesday nights known as The Gathering, where students can experience community and fellowship.
In addition to these group assemblies, GCU’s Spiritual Life Department works to get everyone connected by mentoring student leaders who hold weekly Bible studies, called Life Groups and Community Groups, on each floor in every living area. Spiritual Life is also home to Local Outreach and Global Outreach teams, which encourage students to go out and see the world while spreading the truth of the gospel! Through these outreach opportunities, students can go on mission trips, tutor K-12 students, feed the homeless, serve with local nonprofits including Habitat for Humanity and more.
These are only some of the opportunities that GCU provides to help students live out their commitment to Christian principles. Spend some time on campus, and you will likely notice students greet each other with smiles and hugs, making it easy to see the heartbeat of the Christian community at GCU.
GCU is committed to offering a private, affordable and Christian education. To learn more about GCU and its campus life, visit our website or click on the Request More Information button at the top of the page!
