Global Christian University’s 50+ years of academic and spiritual training have been defined by the motto, “Pursuing the Spirit and the Word”. Many of our graduates have planted churches, labored on the mission field, served in staff positions at their church, or simply brought a deeper understanding of the Word of God and the ministry of Christ’s Kingdom to the sphere they labor in. Around 2014, Global Christian began the national accreditation journey with TRACS, a US Dept. of Education recognized accreditor, and we obtained full accreditation in 2021.

My association with Global Christian started in 2019, with the idea of bringing ministry activation courses to the college. President Emeritus David Sell and Head of Faculty, Dr. Dan Griffiths, along with Dr. Tracy Holsclaw (now Chief Academic Officer), and I hashed out three new courses on prophecy, healing in Jesus’ name, and the Holy Spirit and Freedom which was taught in the 2020-2021 academic year which was followed by a year of serving in the administration side of the college. In July of 2022, I accepted the invitation of Emeritus David Sell and the Board of Trustees of Global Christian.

My personal and professional hope for anyone I meet is that 1) they have an encounter with God’s love and presence, 2) they are equipped with the Word and with faith in the Spirit of God, and 3) they feel empowered and released into the world, activated in their gifts and callings from the Lord. It is my pleasure to serve the students, staff, faculty, and supporters each day with the hope and message of Christ, the encouragement and blessings found in God’s Word, and to mentor deeper partnership with Holy Spirit as we walk in faith with the Lord.
