At Grace, there are endless ways to get involved! Student Involvement, also known as the Office of Fun, oversees campus culture through a variety of student-led organizations and campus clubs. The Office of Student Involvement exists to enhance campus life for each student through exceptional programs that unify the college family, honor Jesus Christ, and serve the entire community.
The Belonging Office fosters connection, mentoring and thriving for all students by celebrating the cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity of God’s creation and advocating for togetherness, to ensure that every voice is heard and valued.
SAB is a group of event planners that facilitates campus activities that deepen relationships. Popular events include the Homecoming Banquet, Cereal Bar, Movie at the Beach, Lake Day, craft nights, Neon Bowling, and Open Mic Nights.
Celebrate diversity on campus with Together We Belong. This group represents minorities on campus through celebration, connection, and education. So host a cookout with Black Student Association, go to the next Esperanza Latina meeting, or get involved with our Asian Student Heritage group. You don’t have to be a minority to participate — all are welcome to attend!
This group creates theme nights to support student athletes at home sporting events, often with snacks and fun competitions!
Growth Groups are a vital part of our Residence Life, designed to help students build a Christian community right where they live. Led by upperclassmen, these weekly gatherings focus on relationships, Bible study, faith integration, and meaningful events that connect students to each other and God.
Roots Magazine, an entirely student-led annual publication, documents the academic year. Student graphic designers, photographers, and copywriters come together to remember the year. Every student receives a free copy of the magazine.
Everyone can play a sport in college! GIP makes intra-collegiate sports available to all. Seasonal sports include flag football, volleyball, basketball, recess, and soccer. GIP also hosts fun, one-time events throughout the year, including Spike’s Night, numerous pickleball tournaments, GLO Night, late-night game night, futsal, and dodgeball tournaments.
Do you want to see the love of God made known on campus and to the surrounding community? & Action is based out of 1 John 3:18 which says, “Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.” With its foundation in this verse, & Action strives to provide ways for students to put action to their love. Some of these opportunities include Jefferson Lunch Buddies (mentoring elementary students at lunch), Fun Fest (Halloween alternative for the community), and Supermarket Sweep (campus-wide food pantry donation competition).
Grace College believes music is essential to life. It is also a key component to learning and appreciating the liberal arts experience.
If you come to Grace with an enthusiasm for the performing arts, we want you to know there is a place for you to sing, play, perform and praise. Additionally, several of the opportunities qualify for Applied Learning.
