Faith-based learning
George Fox University is Christ-centered. Our heritage as a Quaker-founded institution gives us distinctives common to the Friends Church, such as a concern for social justice, a commitment to peace and nonviolence, and a belief in the equality of all people. While approximately 5 percent of our undergraduate students are Friends, more than 50 denominations are represented on campus, the largest being Baptist.Students of all faiths are welcome. While we don't require a signed statement of faith from students, we are a Christian university, and, as such, ask our students and employees to abide by the university's community expectations. In keeping with our mission of Christian higher education, all employees - faculty, administration, and staff - are committed evangelical Christians.
