November is a month dedicated to thankfulness, and at Grace Christian University, it holds a special place in our hearts. Thanksgiving invites us to pause and reflect on God’s goodness, the relationships He has blessed us with, and the many ways His provision sustains us daily.
Thanksgiving stands out as a holiday with little commercialism, centered instead on the simple joy of gathering with loved ones, sharing a meal, and expressing gratitude. It’s a time to acknowledge that all we are and have depends on God’s graciousness. For many, this season reminds us to celebrate the people who pour into our lives with love, time, and effort.
A Culture of Gratitude at Grace
Gratitude is deeply embedded in our community at Grace Christian University. Whether it’s students pausing to thank faculty for their support, families appreciating the sacrifices of their loved ones, or the university expressing gratitude to its faithful donors, thankfulness flows through everything we do. Every meal served, every class taught, and every moment shared is a gift we are thankful for.
Our students enjoy the rare privilege of attending a Bible-centered institution where the Bible is upheld as the highest authority. It’s a reason to give thanks every day. This month, we are especially thankful for the opportunity to take a break from studies and celebrate Thanksgiving with our families, friends, and churches. It’s a time to reflect on the blessings of education, faith, and community.
