Servant Leadership was one of the many courses I took while at Grace, and this course better prepared me for the career of law enforcement and ministry that I’m currently working in. In order to be the best leader I was created to be, I learned that I can never lose my servant's heart.

The faculty was one of my favorite aspects of attending Grace... They assured me that I was capable of the dreams I have and explained to me how I could practically achieve them. Studying at Grace prepared me for ministry because of the Biblical foundation that was intertwined with all the education I received during my studies.

Grace was my home for over four years and during that time I was stretched academically, challenged spiritually, and intentionally walked alongside by many staff and faculty. College is all about finding yourself, your passions, your motives, your calling. Grace equipped me to continue in obedience to my calling of serving in full time ministry.
