Message from the President

Welcome to Grace University.

It is both a privilege and a sacred calling to welcome you to Grace University. Since its founding in 1994, this institution has been established upon a clear and unwavering vision:

Grace University is committed to helping faculty, staff, students, and Christians deepen their understanding of biblical truth, faithfully keep God’s commandments, seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations.

We live in a generation marked by unprecedented technological advancement, scientific achievement, and global connectivity. Yet beneath this remarkable progress lies a sobering reality: humanity is experiencing a profound spiritual crisis. Knowledge has increased, but wisdom is scarce. Information is abundant, but truth is often neglected. People have learned how to explore the world, yet many have forgotten how to seek God.

The greatest question facing humanity is not how much we know, but whether we know the One who created us.

Education without truth produces confusion. Success without righteousness produces emptiness. Power without God ultimately leads to destruction. While degrees, careers, and accomplishments may bring temporary recognition, they cannot answer the deepest questions of the human soul: Why am I here? What is truth? How can I receive God’s salvation and live according to His purpose?

At Grace University, we believe that true education must go beyond intellectual development. It must transform the heart, strengthen character, and prepare individuals to walk faithfully with God. Our foundation is the eternal Word of God, which remains unchanged in a changing world.

The Scriptures declare:
“Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:37)

“Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.”(Leviticus 22:31)

This divine command reveals a profound spiritual truth. God’s people are called not merely to know His Word, but to obey it. Genuine faith is demonstrated through faithful living.

Jesus Christ Himself declared:

Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.(John 14:23)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who continually does the will of My Father who is in heaven.”(Matthew 7:21)

These Scriptures teach how Christ may dwell within us, how we are called to walk with Him, and how we may enter the Kingdom of Heaven and receive eternal life.

Grace University is committed to integrating biblical truth into every area of study. Whether in economics, business, management, AI, leadership, education, or ministry, all truth ultimately finds its source in God. Our goal is to prepare students who possess both academic excellence and spiritual integrity while helping them faithfully keep God’s commandments, seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, and participate in fulfilling the Great Commission.

The world does not merely need educated people; it needs godly leaders. It needs individuals who will stand for truth when truth is challenged, who will uphold righteousness when compromise is celebrated, and who will remain faithful to God when others abandon His ways. Character is more important than credentials, and eternal purpose is greater than temporary success.

As you become part of the Grace University family, I invite you to pursue more than a degree. Pursue wisdom. Pursue truth. Pursue a deeper relationship with God. Allow His Word to shape your mind, transform your heart, and guide your future.

May your time here prepare you not only for professional achievement, but also for faithful service in God’s Kingdom and for a life that bears fruit for eternity as you help make disciples of all nations.

May the grace, wisdom, and power of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

John Charity
President
