Religious Life

Greensboro College is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and seeks to be a diverse campus of people from all faith traditions and no faith traditions. You will find opportunities to grow in your own faith through numerous small groups, weekly chapel services, and community service opportunities.

The Campus Chaplain is an ordained Methodist minister and is available to all students who seek to grow in the faith and spiritual life while upon campus. The chaplain’s office is located on the first floor of the Student Center. He teaches courses in the Religion Department and is available for conversation by appointment.
