“We are thrilled to offer this practical and accessible associate degree program in partnership with Christian University GlobalNet,” said Dr. Bill Katip, president of Grace College & Seminary. “We know that students are looking for this – that is why we developed the program. Young people who are considering a career in ministry, people of all ages currently serving who desire more education to propel their ministry, and many others, will find this program extremely useful and beneficial for their future,” he said.

Fourteen distinct Grace College courses totaling 60 credit hours comprise the A.S. in Ministry Leadership.
