We Declare . . .
The lyrics of “Still Rolling Stones” by Lauren Daigle declare the transformative power of faith. We, at GU, hold tightly to that faith. We know God still rolls stones.
1. He still breathes life and revival into GU students.
2. He still breathes renewal into the faithful who mentor and guide them.
3. He still breathes the capacity for inspired participation into GU’s extended community of alumni, friends, and friends to come.
God’s divine breath ensures that Greenville University remains a transformative force in His kingdom.
Join us on the great adventure God has in store for Greenville University.
