Grove City College remains committed to the same Christian faith embraced by the College’s founders.
We seek, teach, and apply God’s truth in all that we do—truth revealed in the Scriptures and His creation. We strive to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—in our life together as a Christ-centered community.
We aspire to love each other and our students the way Christ loves us.
We commit ourselves to the discipleship of our students and helping them grow in faith. We will shepherd and equip them to pursue their unique callings. As we live, learn, and grow alongside our students, we pray that they will not be conformed to the patterns of the world but instead be transformed by the renewing of their minds.
As educators, pursuers of truth, and makers of disciples, we joyfully affirm these core beliefs:
We believe there is one God, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe God created all things out of nothing.
We recognize the Bible as God’s written Word and the infallible authority for faith and practice.
We believe that all people are sinners, unable to save themselves; and that salvation is a sovereign act of God’s mercy.
We believe that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. Fully human and fully divine, He led a sinless life, died a vicarious and atoning death, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to the Father’s right hand, will return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead and consummate His saving work with a new heaven and a new earth.
We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and indwells those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior by faith and empowers believers to understand truth and live a godly life.
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably created humans as distinctly male or female, ordained marriage as the exclusive, covenantal union between a man and a woman, and designed sexual intimacy to be expressed only within that union.
We believe all human beings—regardless of their stage of development, race, sex, class, or creed—possess equal dignity and worth as bearers of God’s divine image.
We affirm the spiritual unity of those who follow Jesus Christ, Head and Shepherd of the one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
