In an era where higher education institutions often mirror societal trends, Grace Christian University stands out with its unwavering commitment to Biblical principles. Nestled in the heart of West Michigan, this Christian university is dedicated to more than just academic excellence; it is committed to nurturing a community grounded in faith, truth, and transformational relationships. But what sets Grace Christian University apart from other Christian colleges in the region?
Bible-Centered Teaching
Grace Christian University teaches from the Bible and doesn’t compromise the Word of God, nor does Grace apologize for taking the Word literally in its meaning and teachings. At Grace Christian, the core value is being Bible-Centered – the firm belief that the Bible is still true and relevant for both faith and guiding behaviors. Grace holds this to be true without apology and without compromise. This makes Grace different from other colleges and universities.
The Grace of Redemption
The compelling belief at Grace is that ALL are broken and can be redeemed—fixed—only by the grace offered through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Everyone, from a University president to an incoming first-year student, is broken and can experience the life-changing Grace of God.
Grace-Filled Learning Community
At Grace Christian University, there is a Grace-filled Learning Community that is about transformational relationships dedicated to truth without being divisive. This discipleship is evident in both the On-Campus and Online academic programs. The most popular degrees are in Leadership and Ministry which prepare students for ministry of all kinds…locally and internationally. Other offerings include Social Science programs for degrees in Psychology, Human Services, and Criminal Justice, as well as Business and Communication which prepare students to be courageous ambassadors in the marketplace and community.
Mission Statement: Graduating Courageous Ambassadors
Grace Christian University exists to “Graduate Courageous Ambassadors for Christ Who Make an Eternal Impact Wherever They go!” This is the mission statement at Grace. These times call for courageous representation of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not quiet acquiescence. Our world is divided socially and politically to the point where no belief or opinion is without opposition and drawing sides. No matter what might have been intended – someone is offended. As a result, many have just decided to remain quiet.
Addressing Life’s Biggest Problems
The dominant secular narrative heard every day does not answer real solutions, and now more than ever, there is a need for courageous individuals to give the Biblical answers to life’s biggest problems regarding human identity; sex and gender; race and ethnicity; social issues; and belonging.
Holding Firm to Biblical Truth
The church cannot be attractive to the world by becoming increasingly like it under the premise of being “relevant.” Instead, it must firmly hold onto something radically different—an alternative that meets the longings of every individual caught up in the subjective downward slide of a corrupted and fallen society.
Student Involvement in Ministry
At Grace Christian University, every student is actively involved in ministry. Students live out their faith in their community and are dedicated to serving others. Through various ministry opportunities, students can make a tangible impact on their community and beyond as ambassadors for Christ.
