Spiritual Life
Chapel
The core of the Spiritual Life program is chapel. Chapel is a time of gathered worship where students have space to grow in their relationship with Jesus as they look for answers to the “how, what, when, where, and why” questions of life. Because spiritual formation is central to George Fox University’s mission and desire for each student, 21 Spiritual Life credits are required each semester. Students can accumulate those credits by attending chapel (attendance is recorded) or by taking part in many other forms of involvement including serve trip involvement, service ministries and small-group studies. Details are available on the Spiritual Life web site.
Department of Spiritual Life
A full-time administrator serves as the university pastor and dean of spiritual life. This person guides the spiritual life team, gives direction to the chapel program, and ministers to the needs of students. This person, as well as the spiritual life team, is available to meet with students who desire spiritual direction, counsel and prayer.
Greenroom
Greenroom is a student-led time of gathered worship held Fridays, 10:40 – 11:30 a.m. The format varies week to week, but usually includes singing, prayer, and students sharing with one another what Jesus Christ is teaching them about what it means to be a “Christ-follower” in the midst of an often chaotic world.
