None of the ministry programs or services offered on campus are intended to replace the vital role of the church in the life of a believer. We hope that every Grove City College student will maintain good ties with their home church and seek to form new ties with a local congregation for their nurture, fellowship, and guidance.
The Christian Formation Office staff are available to help students find a church in their tradition or one that matches their interests, and we offer these programs so that students can become familiar with opportunities for worship in service in the area through the following:
Every fall the CFO hosts a Church and Ministry Fair so that students can see the wide range of church and ministry opportunities that are available to them and can engage in conversations with ministry leaders to learn more about what they are doing and how to get involved.
Our church database provides information about most of the churches within a 30-plus-mile radius so that students can see contact information, service times, and special programs including church shuttles. The database below is ever-expanding and needs to be continually refreshed, so send us updates.
Churches are listed denomination (tab 1) as well as by location (tab 2) in the spreadsheet below.
