A Message from the President
Thanks to your generous prayers and support, Grace School of Theology has seen a lot of milestones in 2022:
- Highest enrollment ever with officially 709 students who took classes in the Spring 2022 semester.
- 368 Grace Alumni, as of the May 2022 graduation, with degrees from Grace School of Theology (and several with multiple degrees).
- Grace students from 28 states and 41 counties based on Spring 2022.
- Countries in 2022 where we didn’t have students in Spring 2021 included Burundi, Germany, England, Ireland, Qatar, Senegal, Tajikistan, and the United Arab Emirates.
- After the United States (193 students), our next 5 largest countries for enrollment are currently Cuba (122), the Philippines (93), Brazil (73), Korea (39), and Nepal (38).
- Our largest class ever, in Summer 2022, with 49 students, for the Introduction to Black Church Studies with Dr. Thomas Beavers and Dr. John Adolph.
- More than 100 devotional plans published on YouVersion’s Bible App with 1.8 million+ subscriptions and growing daily.
- The launch of Grace On Demand with 1,849 personal spiritual growth students using over 180 hours of trusted, on-demand, biblically-based training from the Grace Center for Spiritual Development.
But also, take a look at the bottom of our official seminary seal. Throughout 2022, we have been celebrating twenty years of being a seminary. Twenty years (plus some) of the faithful prayers and support of people like you. Twenty years, all to God’s glory, of striving to develop spiritual leaders in every nation who can teach others about the love of Christ, a love that cannot be earned and cannot be lost.
“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.”
Your investment in Grace School of Theology will have generations of impact because our focus is to develop leaders who can teach others about the love of Christ—or entrust the teachings of Christ to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
In Christ,
David R. Anderson, Ph.D.
Founder and President
