What Students

are saying

I think Gravitate has helped me better understand my own faith. It has also helped me understand my beliefs and why I have them.
I grew my confidence in my faith and created a deeper connection with God. I learned how to share my faith and how to do it in a way that glorifies ... I loved the community of Gravitate, especially meeting with the other schools at Gravitate camp.
