The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for several Life Group leaders for our seven-week spring Life Groups series (the weeks of Feb. 22 through April 9).

This spring, all groups will meet in either a Zoom or hybrid format. (Hybrid groups will meet primarily via Zoom, but may occasionally meet outdoors as the weather, state and university regulations, and participant comfort permit.)
Throughout the pandemic, Life Groups through SpIL 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.
We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group. Groups may also be co-led with an upper-classman student if the leader desires.
To sign up as a leader, please fill out this form and our office will follow up with you.
For more information, contact the Office for Spiritual Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
