Education is not one-size-fits-all. While some students thrive in the depth and rigor of a degree program, others prefer a more practical, focused approach to learning. Whether youre ready to dive deeply into theological study or simply want to build a strong foundation, Global Grace Seminary offers a pathway designed for you.

If youre looking for a flexible, less intensive educational experience, our Certificate Programs provide an excellent place to begin. We currently offer certificates in Grace Studies and Grace Coaching, with additional programs in development, including Spiritual Formation, Spiritual Direction, Trinitarian Theology, and Chaplaincy. Each certificate is designed to provide meaningful, Christ-centered, grace-based education that equips you to grow personally and confidently share the good news of the gospel of grace while serving others.

Because Jesus has united humanity to Himself, our lives are no longer defined by Adamic lack, fear, or self-effort. The Spirit of Christ dwells within us, bearing witness that we belong to the Father and share in the life of the Son. What does this really mean? It means that our existence is not empty or self-contained; rather, in Christ, we become vessels of divine love, peace, mercy, and life for the sake of the world.

The good news of the Gospel is that the Christian life is not mere imitation from afar, but participation by grace. Those who share in the divine nature are being conformed to Christ and made alive by the Holy Spirit to manifest the heart of the Father. The way and truth of our being is to live as sons and daughters in the Son, filled with the Spirit, radiating the life of heaven into the earth.

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness… that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.” — 2 Peter 1:3–4 (RSV)

So what does this mean for us?

We were made for communion, not distance. We were made for participation, not mere observation. We were made to live in Christ, through the Spirit, unto the Father.

The good news of the gospel is the Trinity is not a puzzle to solve, but the living God into whose life we have been graciously drawn.

In the perfect unity of the Triune God, we behold not confusion, change, or division, but eternal love, fullness, and communion. The Father is never without the Son, the Son is never without the Spirit, and the Spirit eternally reveals and glorifies the Son in the love of the Father. This is our hope: the God who is eternally whole and undivided has made Himself known to us in Christ and poured His life into us by the Spirit.

As Scripture declares, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14 RSV).

And as John Chrysostom so often emphasized in his preaching, the mystery of God is never given merely for speculation, but for worship, transformation, and participation in divine life. The Trinity is not distant from us, but in Christ, by the Spirit, we are brought near to the Father and invited to rest in the communion that has no beginning and no end.

Take heart today: the unchanging love of the Father, the grace of the Son, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit are not fragile realities. They are the eternal life of God Himself—and this life has been given to us.

The beauty of the gospel is not merely that Christ died for us, but that He included us in His death, resurrection, and ascension. In becoming fully human, Jesus stepped into our condition, took hold of our broken humanity, and carried it through the cross into the new life of the Triune God.

This is why Paul can say:

We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. (Romans 6:6, RSV)

The Father was not reconciling Himself to us; He was reconciling us to Himself in His Son. In Christ, our old Adamic existence was brought to an end. We were co-crucified with Him. We were buried with Him. We were raised with Him. His resurrection was not simply an event that happened to Jesus—it was the unveiling of a new humanity in union with Him.

It is because of this gospel truth that the Spirit now bears witness to what is already true in Christ: our life is no longer defined by separation, shame, striving, or the illusion that we must become someone worthy of Gods love, rather, our true life is hidden with Christ in God.

The Father has made His home with us through the Son and in the Spirit and because of this, the Son has joined Himself to our humanity forever. It is the Holy Spirit who awakens us to the reality of our inclusion in that eternal fellowship of love.

This is the truth of our being: we were created for participation in the life of the Trinity. Jesus became what we are so that humanity might share in what He has always enjoyed as the beloved Son—the unbroken love, communion, and delight of the Father in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

The Christian life is not a journey toward union with God. It is the joyful awakening to the union that Christ has already established on behalf of us all.

The good news of the gospel is that Jesus did not come to start a religion or create another system of striving; instead, He came to reveal the Father and restore humanity to the life for which it was always created. From the beginning, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit purposed humanity for fellowship, not separation; for participation, not performance.

When we look at Jesus, we are not simply looking at Gods response to sin. We are seeing the very heart of God unveiled. In Christ, the Father draws near, the Spirit bears witness, and humanity is shown its true face. It is Jesus who reveals both who God has always been and who we have always been created to be.

Through His incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension, Christ entered our condition, embraced our humanity, and carried it into the communion He has eternally shared with the Father and the Spirit. What was lost in our blindness is restored in His self-giving love. What was hidden beneath fear, shame, and striving is revealed again in Him.

This is why grace is so much more than divine assistance or unearned favor. Grace is the Triune God giving Himself to us in Christ and bringing us into His own life. The gospel is not an invitation to climb our way to God but the announcement that God has come to us, made Himself known, and included us in what He has always shared as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

As in a mirror, we discover our genesis in God and suddenly realize that every detail of our lives is mirrored in him. (2 Corinthians 3:18, Mirror)

Let us hold fast to the truth that Jesus did not come to make us religious, rather, He came to reveal the Fathers heart, redeem the image of God in humanity, and awaken us to the life of communion, belonging, and sonship that has always been His gift to us in Him.

On this Proper 6 in the church calendar, the Third Sunday after Pentecost, the church is once again drawn into the quiet but profound center of the gospel: life with God is not something achieved, but something given.

The readings for this Sunday hold together a consistent witness—God is the One who seeks, restores, and rejoices. In Jesus Christ, the heart of the Father is revealed not as distant or detached, but as active, faithful love that moves toward the world He has made.

In the Son, the fullness of the Father is made known. Christ does not simply point the way to God; He is the way, gathering humanity into His own communion with the Father. And by the Holy Spirit, this communion is not only declared, but made real in the present—opening eyes, forming faith, and drawing creation into the life of the Triune God.

As Paul writes in Romans 5:8 (RSV), “God shows his love for us in that while we were yet weak Christ died for us.”

That witness anchors the proclamation: before any return, before any awareness, before any response, the movement of God in Christ has already gone forth in love.

So the invitation of Proper 6 is not striving upward, but receiving what is already being given. The Father seeks, the Son embraces, and the Holy Spirit awakens us to the grace of belonging within the eternal life of the Trinity.

This is the good news proclaimed today: not humanity reaching God, but the Triune God bringing humanity into communion with Himself in Jesus Christ.

Faith does not rest in our ability to accomplish what God has promised, but in God’s own faithfulness to bring every promise to completion.

This is the life into which we are drawn—the life of the Triune God. The Father is the One who speaks and sends, the source of every promise. The Son, Jesus Christ, is the fulfillment of all God has spoken, the definitive “Yes” of God in whom every promise finds its completion. And the Holy Spirit unites us to Christ, sustaining us in that communion of grace and preserving us in faith when our strength and clarity falter.

In this way, faith is not the burden of producing what God has declared, but the grace of trusting the One who is able to accomplish it. We are not the guarantors of God’s promises; we are those who are carried by them.

“fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.” - Romans 4:21 (RSV)

This is the truth of our life before God: we begin in grace, we are held in Christ, and we are sustained in the Spirit—within the undivided life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

It is a truth that reminds us, even as we reflect on Malcolm’s witness, that faith is never self-grounded but always Christ-held.

Transfer Evaluation Process

There are many streams of the Grace message, each with its own flavor and unique expression of the beautiful Gospel.  Several of these also have high-quality ministry training programs that, although not accredited or credit-awarding, are nonetheless valuable learning experiences that serve as a great launching pad for students eventually  pursuing a degree.  

To that end, GGS has developed an accrediting-approved Transfer Evaluation Process that can award academic credit to students coming to us from non-traditional schools of ministry and bible training programs that were centered in the unconditional love of God for all creation.  

These programs include, but are by no means limited to:

  • School of Kingdom (Dubb Alexander and Team)
  • Malcolm Smith Bible Institute (Malcolm Smith and Team)
  • Cana Seminary (John Crowder and Team)
  • Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (Bill Johnson and Team)
  • St. Anthony Institute for Theology, Philosophy, and Liturgics (Chris Green and Team)
  • Legacy Academy (Tommy Miller and Team)
 

The Transfer Evaluation Process works as follows:

 

  1. Prospective students initiate an evaluation request by contacting info@globalgraceseminary.net.
  2. A member of the academic team will be in touch with what specific information is needed to conduct your evaluation.  This will typically include summaries of the content of the courses you completed, contact information for who oversaw your studies, copies of any official documentation you received (such as diplomas and transcripts) and related documentation.  The specifics of what is required will vary from program to program.
  3. For those programs that did not require graded coursework (such as quizzes, tests, exams, etc.), a portfolio project will be assigned that will provide a means of awarding academic credit that can then be transferred into GGS and thus reduce the number of classes students must complete toward their degree.
