The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for Life Group leaders for our fall 2021 Life Groups series (the weeks of Sept. 10 through Nov. 12).
Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes. This fall our groups will be either in person or completely via Zoom (this provides access for our George Fox Digital students).
Life Groups through the Office for Spiritual Life will also be SPIL credit-eligible in order to encourage students to engage in high-quality spiritual formation experiences that are participatory and offer ongoing community. To sign up to lead a group, please fill out this form.
We welcome our employees, graduate students, current seniors, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group.
For more information about the program, visit this webpage or contact the Office for Spiritual Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
