About GCF; Activities

The Graduate Christian Fellowship is a community of graduate students who come together to learn and seek to follow God in their daily lives around campus.  We're a part of InterVarsity's division of Graduate and Faculty Ministries.

Our Vision

We believe that God has called and equipped Christian graduate students and faculty to be a redeeming influence among the people, ideas, and structure of the university and professions.  In the power of the Spirit, we share the following four commitments: Spiritual Formation, Community, Evangelism and Service, and Integration of Faith Learning and Practice.


For more information about our beliefs and purpose, please read InterVarsity's doctrinal basis and Graduate & Faculty Ministries' Four Commitments.  We take both of these statements very seriously and try to live by them and promote them in our group!
