Chapel and Life Groups help you grow and build community on campus, but they are not substitutes for participating in a local church.

Find a local church

1. Ask your Life Leader, resident assistant, roommate or trusted friends where they attend.
2. Use the nearby-church search to compare distance and transportation.
3. Check each church’s official website for its beliefs, service times, address, young-adult or college ministry and contact information.
4. Visit more than once before deciding, when practical.
5. Look for a church where you can worship, learn Scripture, build relationships with people of different ages, serve and become known.

<aside> ℹ️

GCU does not endorse one local church over another. The nearby-church link is a live search, not an official GCU recommendation. Church schedules, ministries and transportation can change, so verify details directly with the church.

Student tip: Students who attend a local church often coordinate rides with trusted friends, Life Group members or other students already going. Ask early in the week, confirm both the ride there and the return plan, and offer to help with gas when appropriate. This is informal transportation between students—not a guaranteed GCU or church service.
