Student Ministries

Serving in the Community, in the Church, and On Campus

For students at Grace Christian University, learning isn’t limited to the classroom.

Each student  follows a track of courses requiring real world experience through serving and volunteering, whether that’s with a local non-profit, a church, or an on-campus organization. Through this service, our students are encouraged to follow the example of Jesus Christ, are provided with practical experience in various fields of Christian life, develop habits that will continue throughout their entire lives, and explore their gifts and talents through serving in various environments across their college career.

Are you a local church, ministry, or other organization seeking student volunteers?

Organizations can connect with students by visiting our campus at our annual ministry fair or arranging to visit at another time. For more information on our annual ministry fair or to ask questions about student volunteers from Grace Christian University, please contact Dean of Students Jim Gamble at jgamble@gracechristian.edu or (616)261-2694.

Cross-Cultural Experience

The world has become a place of continually mixing cultures. Whether students serve as missionaries overseas, teachers in local schools, Christians in business or any other type of service, the ability to live and work with people of different cultures is a critical skill. One way Grace students develop this skill is through participating in short-term mission trips. In the past few years, students from Grace have traveled to Tanzania, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Washington, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Missouri, and New York. Trips like these provide our students with crucial opportunities to connect with people from different cultural backgrounds while growing their skills in ministry.

A God Centered Education

Grace Christian University puts God at the center of everything: from academics to campus life to off-campus leadership. Our close-knit campus offers an idyllic place to focus on what matters most. Your time spent here will bring you closer to your career goals, while bringing you closer to God. Grace’s inspired instructors will become more than teachers…they will act as mentors throughout your journey and beyond graduation. Because although you may arrive as a stranger, you’ll leave as family.
