Passport Days will be here Thursday and Friday, Sept. 20-21, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. A passport is something you are required to have if you plan to travel internationally. A representative from the U.S.P.S. will be on site to assist you with applying for a new passport, as well as renewing your passport.

The event will take place in the lobby of Bauman Auditorium. You will need to bring a current driver’s license and an original or certified copy of your birth certificate. The cost will vary, depending on the passport option you choose. Please visit this webpage to review your options and cost. You can pay by either a check or cash; credit cards are not accepted.

This event is open to everyone, both from the university and the public. If you have any questions, please contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu.

Are you looking for a church home while you are at George Fox? The Office for Spiritual Life has this webpage to help you get connected with area churches. There will also be a church fair on the quad during dinner on Serve Day, Sept. 12, so you can get acquainted with pastors and ministry opportunities.

A number of area churches are sending September shuttles to our campus to make it easy for you to get to church. The following churches have worked with the spiritual life office and have agreed to ensure your safety by adhering to these university stipulations: two representatives in the vehicle, a sign clearly marking the vehicle, and pick-up and drop-off before and after services.

Though these churches are trusted community partners, we ask you to use discretion in your church search and travel. Please contact spirituallife@georgefox.edu or call 503-554-2320 with any questions!
