Welcome To
Grace Life University
At Grace Life University, what the Apostle Paul shared in Acts 20:24 has become our mission: “I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me---to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.” – NCV Grace was the way of life for the early church. Notice what the Apostle Paul and Barnabas said after a service where many came to receive Jesus and begged Paul and Barnabas to preach the same message the next Sabbath. “As the meeting broke up, a good many Jews and converts to Judaism went along with Paul and Barnabas, who urged them in long conversations to stick with what they’d started, this living in and by God’s grace.” – Acts 13:43 MSG

He is loving, holy and just.
We Believe the Bible is God’s Word. It is inspired and accurate. It is our perfect guide in all matters of life.
We Believe sin has separated us all from God, and that only through Jesus Christ can we be reconciled to God.
We Believe Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took all our sins upon Himself, died and rose again. Today, He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator.
We Believe that salvation is the gift of God to man. This gift is effected by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it produces works pleasing to God.
We Believe that water baptism is an outward act that demonstrates a believer’s identification with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
We Believe the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and empowers us to yield the fruit of the Spirit.
We Believe the Holy Communion is a celebration of Jesus’ death and our remembrance of Him.

Courses We Offer
At our online Bible school, we deeply value our work and the impact it has. We are driven by a commitment to excellence and faith-centered education, which has resulted in a series of significant achievements that we are excited to highlight. Our mission is to foster both spiritual maturity and academic prowess among our students, equipping them to serve with profound understanding and unwavering enthusiasm.
1st Year Courses
The First Year of the Degree Program lays a strong biblical and theological foundation focused on identity, grace, and New Covenant understanding. Students will explore core themes of who they are in Christ, the revelation of Jesus, and the transforming power of God’s grace. Through in-depth verse-by-verse studies of key New Testament books—including John, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Hebrews—students gain a solid scriptural grounding that shapes their spiritual growth and ministry effectiveness.
2nd Year Courses
The Second Year of the Degree Program builds on the foundation of grace and identity established in Year 1 by guiding students deeper into the Old Testament, early church history, and practical ministry training. Students explore how God’s grace is revealed throughout the entire Old Testament, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Jesus’ presence in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms.
Purpose
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” – Matthew 11:28 MSG
Grace Life University was formed for the purpose of fulfilling the great commandment of making disciples of all nations by teaching people the Good News about God’s grace. God has been restoring in these last days the revelation of the gospel of grace which the early church had preached strongly to the gentile world. Many who have been caught up in legalism and burned out on religion are falling in love with Jesus all over again and receiving a passion to share this good news about God’s grace with a lost and dying world!
