During a challenging season in my life, Grace Christian University helped me discover my light, and I realized that my experience was more than an education. I found a community that genuinely cared for me.

At Grace Christian University, everyone was very supportive with open arms. I learned a lot about what it was like to be a man of God, which I had no idea what that was all about until I attended Grace, and now I get to grow my faith in my everyday life and have lifetime mentors whom I can call whenever I need them. Going to Grace was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Grace Adventures was an impactful season of my life, It gave me a strong community to help me make my faith my own by building on the foundation already laid and growing my relationship with God. It laid steps that helped me as I went on to Grace Christian University shortly after and continued building on my relationship with God. I am grateful for the opportunity and the experiences that have brought me to where I am now.

I could not have picked a better university to attend. The Lord put me in the right place at the right time, and words fall short of expressing the magnitude of appreciation in my heart for the community at Grace. I am continually blown away by how intentional the professors and students are at Grace, and it has only helped me to realize the importance of the role relationships play in our lives. I could not be more pleased with the decision I made to pursue a communications degree. God has taught me through grace that people matter, and how we choose to communicate has the power to change lives.

Being at Grace for the past 4 years has changed my life. I’ve grown tremendously as a person and in my faith. I’ve become closer to God and also gained many valuable friendships. The classes helped guide me to scripture and made me more devoted to learning and God. I know now that I am more equipped than ever to help spread the word of God!

The MBA program at Grace is phenomenal. The faculty are the real deal, running their own successful businesses and teaching valuable insights from both their education and experience. Courses are designed to teach you skills that offer competitive advantages, such as AI, web design, and marketing campaigns for startups. The program also instructs on how to be a better leader and, of course, integrates the Bible and spiritual components directly into the curriculum. I love how the case studies are not just relevant, but they are literally events happening right now.

My time here at Grace has been a blessing, although I have faced challenges along the way. The students, staff, and facility have encouraged me and prayed for me, and I've been able to learn a biblical approach in all my studies. I was reluctant at first to step into obtaining a degree in the online courses; however, after having joined, I'm glad I have because it's helped my relationship with God grow and my understanding of how to apply biblical principles and understandings to what God has called me to do.
