We also offer extensive intramural and club sports that connect athletic and non-athletic students with opportunities to enhance their physical fitness, character development, and leadership skills.

Our Christian perspective
Geneva College is governed by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America. We believe the Holy Bible is the foundation of all that is right, good, and true. We require faculty and staff to be professing Christians. They care about the development of our students’ minds, hearts, and spirits. We don’t have a litmus test to determine if incoming students believe what we believe, so people of many denominations and doctrines study at Geneva. Our conversations are honest, frank, and often eye-opening.
