About Geneva

“Geneva has been such a blessing to me throughout my time in college. The lectures have challenged me both intellectually and spiritually, and the small group’s focus on vocation has helped me in discerning God’s callings for my life. It has also provided a great opportunity to build community with fellow Christians on campus, and I really appreciate that it has involved people of all different faith backgrounds and perspectives in meaningful discussions. I’m so thankful for this ministry in Iowa City.”
