George Fox University is a private Christian university in Newberg, Oregon, affiliated with the Evangelical Friends (Quaker) tradition. It is one of the most genuinely Christian universities in the Pacific Northwest and a CCCU member — providing authentic evangelical identity in a region where maintaining Christian distinctives is particularly difficult.
George Fox University is named after George Fox, the founder of the Quaker (Friends) movement. Its Evangelical Friends affiliation represents the more broadly evangelical wing of Quakerism — affirming Scripture's authority, conversion, and orthodox Christian theology — rather than the liberal Quaker tradition. This makes George Fox more similar to mainstream evangelical universities than the stereotypical image of Quaker institutions.
George Fox is a CCCU member with a faculty Statement of Faith, required chapel, and deliberate Christian formation across academics. Its Pacific Northwest location makes its maintenance of Christian identity particularly notable — the region has among the lowest rates of religious affiliation in America.
George Fox has strong programs in business, psychology, nursing, and education. Its seminary (Portland Seminary) is a well-regarded graduate theological school drawing students from across evangelical traditions. The university is NWCCU-accredited.
