Join us for a meal (bring a plate from the Bon or food from home), a time of teaching about bold prayer and community (the supporting Scripture behind our mission and program), and a time of discussion.

This space is open to everyone of any background. We would love to meet and spend time getting to know you!

We hope to have worship, but are still looking for worship leaders! If you’re available to serve in that way tonight, it’s not too late. Please fill out this form. Contact Toby Klauder at tklauder21@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Launch of 2024-25 FAFSA application has been delayed until December

October 1st, 2023

October is here, which usually means the FAFSA application is launching. However, this year there will be a delay in the opening of the FAFSA application due to some significant changes resulting from the FAFSA Simplification Act.

This act aims to streamline the financial aid application process and make it more user-friendly as well as expand eligibility for federal financial aid for students. In light of these changes, the FAFSA application for the 2024-25 year will not be available until sometime in December.

While no firm date has been set, we are committed to keeping students and families updated about the changes in timeline and process this year. To learn more about FAFSA Simplification and how it may impact our students and families, visit our 2024-25 FAFSA Simplification webpage.
