Church involvement is a type of civic engagement that gives various benefits to
students particularly in developing and nurturing values. This study determined
the students? involvement in church activities and their values formation. The
descriptive-correlation design was adopted and the survey questionnaire was
distributed to 320 college students of Misamis University, Philippines. Pearson
Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson r) was used to explore the
correlation between students? involvement in church activities and their values
formation. Findings revealed that students were sometimes able to attend
church and their involvement to church activities was moderate. Overall, the
values exhibited by students were well-developed. However, looking into each
of the values, it appears that composure/peace and tolerance/adaptability were
only adequately-developed. There was a statistically positive correlation
between students? involvement in church activities and their values formation.
The findings of this study may be used by the school in formulating plans that
foster church involvement and values formation.
