Grace Christian University
Campus Safety
Located in the heart of Wyoming, MI, our campus is in a local neighborhood just outside the vibrant city of Grand Rapids. Grace Christian University is surrounded by beautiful woods along the back of our property. We have a community of single-family home neighbors near the front of our campus. The vehicle traffic in and around our campus is very low, with minimal city streets to navigate once on campus. This results in a safe and quiet atmosphere.
Additionally, we are thankful to be within about 90 seconds of proximity to our friends at the Wyoming Police Department by vehicle. Our city’s servicemen and women patrol our campus and the neighborhood frequently. They oftentimes use our parking lots for their paperwork after a local traffic stop.
Furthermore, on campus, we have a trained safety team who look to ensure a space where students are safe and campus assets are protected. Current students may call the campus safety phone number on (616) 881-2803 to receive a ride on the safety cart to and from different buildings as needed. Campus safety team members are on patrol 20 out of every 24 hours per day. In the evening, bright lights illuminate parking lots and sidewalks and our team completes campus audits frequently. This ensures minimal spaces of darkness and shadows persist on our campus.
