Who We Are


Columbia University InterVarsity Graduate and Christian Fellowship, also known as GCF, is a unique, dynamic community made up of Ph.D. and Masters students desiring to become followers of Christ who integrate their faith with their vocation and career goals.

We seek to engage with grad students who are at diverse places in their spiritual growth. Whether you consider yourself a follower of Jesus, a skeptic or simply wish to investigate the claims of Christianity, GCF is a great community to explore. You are welcome to come and ask your most intriguing questions in a safe and friendly Christian environment, where all members are respected and honored both in our unity and diversity.

We desire to develop an authentic community of believers who meet regularly for mutual encouragement and spiritual growth, and that emphasizes prayer as a foundational principle.

We seek to encourage and equip grad students to live out our faith by being a redeeming influence on campus and a light to our classmates and co-workers.
