Spiritual Reference Guide

Resource

What does this resource do for you?

Where do you find this resource? (Provide link, contact info, etc.)

Spiritual Life Page

The Department of Spiritual Life helps the GCU community grow in a http://students.gcu.edu/studentlife/spiritual-life.php personal relationship with God through an active faith in Jesus Christ. Explore the GCU Spiritual Life page. In 50-75 words, describe 3-4 resources found on this page that you feel may be useful to you.

The three resources I feel may be helpful to me would be the pastor’s message, the live chapel, and the prayer requests. Those days when I may feel a little unmotivated, I can refer to the pastor’s message. Currently, I have not found a church I like where I live, so it is refreshing to know I can always view the church service on Mondays at 11:15 am. Everyone can always use a prayer, so I know I can benefit from the prayer request section.
