Education is not one-size-fits-all. While the rigors and scope of a degree program are ideal for some, for others a more nuts and bolts model is preferable. Whether you want to plunge into the depths or float leisurely on the surface, GGS has a program for you! For those looking for a more relaxed, less intensive learning experience, our Certificate programs are perfect! Currently offering these in Grace Studies and Grace Coaching, additional programs are in product to include Spiritual Formation, Spiritual Direction, Trinitarian Theology, and Chaplaincy. To learn more click on the Academics tab at globalgraceseminary.net
GGS is committed to providing a Grace-oriented education second to none. If you believe that Jesus is a full picture of who the Triune God is, then youre in the right place!
“The phrase ‘pre-cross’ is sometimes used as a theological escape hatch. If Jesus says something demanding, unsettling, or hard to reconcile with a favored doctrinal scheme, the saying is sometimes reduced to a preliminary stage of revelation, as though it belongs to an earlier, less mature phase of God’s plan. “But that move is too easy. It assumes the gospels preserve a merely earlier version of Christianity, when in fact they were written by the Church’s mature, post-resurrection memory of Jesus. The evangelists are not presenting a Jesus whose words must be filtered through Paul to be understandable; they are presenting the same Lord whose life, death, and resurrection Paul and the Church already confessed. “So ‘pre-cross’ cannot mean theologically irrelevant, pre-grace, or not for the Church.” Latest FREE Substack is out!

“The danger, of course, is that we tent-dwellers start building fortresses inside the tent. Once a particular accent on grace becomes our badge of belonging, the body of Christ’s conversation about grace fragments into mutually suspicious camps…. A grace teacher, in the healthiest sense, is someone who can recognize family resemblance across these different dialects without demanding uniformity of vocabulary or emphasis. That teacher can critique excesses and blind spots, but does so from within a posture of solidarity, not superiority.” Link in the comments.
GGS is thrilled to introduce you to the newest member of the faculty, Dr. Dan Payne! Dr. Payne brings a wealth of experience in business, the classroom, and in ministry, most recently creating two core courses in our forthcoming Certificate of Spiritual Formation program. Welcome Dan Payne!
If the message emphasized what you need to do rather than what #Christ has done, then you heard the #law, not #Grace.

Mike Zenker

Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministry

Mike Zenker began pastoral ministry in 1990. Currently Mike is the Sr. Pastor of Hope Fellowship Community Church in Waterloo, ON. As well, he is the National Director for Grace Walk Ministries in Canada. Having been part of a number of different church denominations, Mike refers to himself as ‘multi-tribal’. This has given Mike tremendous exposure to multi-faceted expressions of how believers respond to Jesus Christ. In 2000, Mike was deeply impacted by the book “Grace Walk” by Steve McVey. It was while reading this book that God revealed to Mike who he was in Christ and who Christ was in him. Realizing that he had not heard this truth ‘packaged’ like this before, he contacted Grace Walk Ministries and began the exciting journey of connecting with this ministry. In 2006, Grace Walk Canada was launched as a ministry to ‘Share the Love and Life of Christ’ across Canada. Now Mike spends his time teaching the foundations of who we are in Christ as well as the profound truth of who Christ is in us. The bride of Christ (the church) needs to have a deeper and clearer understanding of who God is and that He is lavishing His love on the world. When we see each other and the world as God sees, then true love (agape) will come flowing out of us towards others.
