“The class was on the biblical book of James. I was looking for a graduate program, and he suggested I apply for Grace. I enjoyed the class and couldn’t wait to take more classes.”

Drake looked into some important factors regarding his decision to apply at Grace. First, it is an excellent convenience for him to attend school online. Even though he is in the ministry most often, he can still participate in his classes and continue learning. The assurance that he can get a quality education is also an excellent factor for his desicion. For Drake, it is such a great honor to be part of an accredited seminary like Grace. More importantly, the tuition is affordable for a student like him who gets most of his funding from the ministry.

What Drake learned at Grace made a significant impact on his ministry. For example, his Expository Preaching class with Dr. Mark Haywood taught him the importance of crafting a well-written sermon.

Drake’s study of Historical Books with Dr. Eugene Merrill elevated his knowledge and passion for the Old Testament and the topic of biblical history. But most of all, he considers his class on The Basis of Free Grace Theology with Dr. Ken Wilson as a significant factor in understanding salvation through the lens of God’s grace.

But it wasn’t just in these classes that Drake learned important lessons while studying at Grace. His discipleship group helped him understand the importance of having fellow disciples of Christ around him to talk to and get some spiritual advice. When he lost his job halfway through his degree program, his fellow students and mentors were there to support him.
