Madison Area Churches
This list was compiled in order to help new students find church families.
We requested input about local churches attended by students in IVGCF. This is by no
means an exhaustive listing of local churches (there are a lot of them!) nor is this
list intended to show favoritism towards certain churches or denominations -- it is merely
the compilation of received responses. We hope it serves your needs.
Additions or corrections to this list may be addressed to at
