Advancing the Mission of Geneva College

Pursue Godly wisdom

Mission

Geneva College is a Christ-centered academic community that provides a comprehensive education to equip students for faithful and fruitful service to God and neighbor.

Vision

Geneva College will be known nationally for advancing integration of faith and learning under Christ and His word, preparing students for courageous engagement throughout their life’s work.

Dr. Gary Havranek sees Geneva College as critical to the health of Beaver Falls, a place of formational memories for himself and countless students, and as the alma mater both he and his daughter are proud to claim. From the 1970s to the 2020s, he’s taken part in the missional vision of Geneva College as a student, a dedicated alumnus, and a strong community partner and donor.

Dr. Gary '79 and Carrie Havranek

“These past four years have impacted my life from my academics to my athletics, to the Geneva community and my church community. I’m leaving here ready to serve in God’s kingdom wherever He calls me. I’m thankful for the Lord’s work in my life throughout these four years at Geneva.”
