What Our Student Say About Us
We believe education is more than just academics. Check out firsthand accounts from students like you who have been impacted by our vibrant community, transformative education, and unwavering commitment to faith.
I believe that God has used everyone to inspire me to keep going and reach my goal. Something they all had in common was that they always made me feel their concern for my spiritual life. And this, as a leader, has inspired me to do the same in the church that God has called us to serve.

I thank God for the entire faculty at Grace. Each of my professors was a fundamental part of my growth and academic success. They challenged me not to give up, to keep fighting and achieve my goals. I felt cared for and guided. At all times, I could feel that they were praying for me. On some occasions, when I needed a little more time to turn in my assignments, they were sensitive to my needs while remaining firm.

Each class gave me the opportunity to prepare myself to better serve my God in the field of psychology. It was impressive how each assignment was carefully designed to search the scriptures for what God teaches. I am extremely grateful to God, my family, and the entire Grace team for believing in me and giving me the support I needed to start and finish my degree in psychology!

I believe this training has helped me to update my skills and become more aware of the leadership that God has entrusted to me, especially with his church and the community we are serving. Now I want to take advantage of every opportunity and be more intentional in serving and influencing the community where God has planted us.

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.
