  • New Orleans GroupGC community partnered with three FM churches to build a Habitat for Humanity home in Greenville. The GC community celebrated the home blessing with new owner and GC custodian, Victoria Stone, this fall.
  • In collaboration with Urban Impact Ministries, five teams of GC students have continued Katrina relief efforts. Their efforts focused on gutting homes (still untouched since the storm two years ago) and preparing them to be rebuilt, as well as representing the church through relational ministry within the neighborhood.

  • Supported by a $10,000 donation from University Loft Co., the furniture manufacturer for GC residence halls, Dr. Eugene Dunkley led a group of students to Rwanda for Interterm study and service.

  • GC students are investing in the "Education in Partnership" program at the Simple Room in Greenville, IL. This program (funded by a grant from Lifeline Homes) inspires, encourages and equips at risk students to become first generation college students through weekly tutoring sessions and monthly campus exploratory events.

  • In Guatemala this January, students will be serving the communities of Magdelana and El Gorione at discipline-specific ministry sites (healthcare, agribusiness, applied technology, Spanish education, etc.)
