Life Groups are led by staff, professors, local pastors and church leaders, and seniors and provide a space for students to gather for weekly prayer, Bible study and fellowship.

Groups typically meet for an hour to 90 minutes. Most groups will begin the week of Feb. 22 and end the week of April 9. Your Life Group leader will contact you with additional details by the Friday prior to the start of your group.

This spring, all of our groups will be meeting either by Zoom or hybrid. Hybrid groups will meet primarily via Zoom, but may occasionally meet outdoors as the weather, state and university regulations, and participants’ comfort permit.

Throughout the pandemic, Life Groups run through the Office of Spiritual and Intercultural Life will also be eligible for SpiL credit.

Attention students and faculty: Registration for the George Fox Digital summer online term will begin next week, on Wednesday, Feb. 24.

Our summer online courses are all full credit, but occur in half the normal time frame – eight weeks, beginning June 7 and ending on Aug. 1. Tuition is $499 per credit, which is a small but notable reduction from previous years, and comes in at less than 50% off the tuition price for classes during the traditional semesters.

We offer a list of 33 different options; check out the website and course list here.

Talk with your CAP Coach about how you can take summer online courses to help stay on track and graduate on time. If you have additional questions, contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu).

We’ll be releasing a new lecture in this series on our YouTube playlist every Tuesday throughout February and early March.

Questions? Contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu).
