Grace College & Seminary Campus Commitment

At Grace, we are first and foremost a community. As a community informed by God and His Word, we are committed to generously and sacrificially caring for those on our campus and in Warsaw/Winona Lake. Being together requires new measures to keep everyone safe, but the temporary inconveniences will be far outweighed by the joy that comes from learning together. 

Together, and for each other, we commit to the following attitudes and actions of Grace during COVID-19:

ATTITUDES

Choose Humility
I will be like-minded with Christ by putting the needs of others above my own. (Phil. 2:4)

Commit to Unity
I will actively prioritize the wellbeing of my Grace family by committing wholeheartedly to maintaining a spirit of unity. (1 Cor. 1:10)

Comply Graciously
I will actively listen to college and community leaders and respect their decisions. I will be flexible as circumstances change. (Heb. 13:17)

Continue the Mission
I will remain hopeful and prayerful that these temporary methods will allow us to accomplish our longstanding mission and carry out our ways of Grace. (Heb. 10:23)
