Big Dreams, Bigger God

Vision 2025

By 2025, Grace Christian University will offer every student a path to a debt-free education in a redemptive learning community.

CHARITABLE GIFTS TO GRACE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to enable us to focus on priorities that affect students’ lives and their Grace experience.

Our Vision 2025 is an exciting goal we can achieve through God’s grace and the action of generous people who are dedicated to biblical education and our common values.

This vision will boldly impact society through powerful scholarships for students to finish their education debtfree. This presents an opportunity for them to serve the Lord freely in their chosen vocations soon after graduation— and to duplicate the generosity shown to them as students.

Currently, 19 Family Endowed Scholarships honor and memorialize friends of Grace. These scholarships are awarded annually and help sustain future student scholarships. Our goal is to reach 200 named and funded scholarships of $25,000 (or more!) ready to be awarded by the fall of 2025. Our endowment total to date is over $1,060,000—on our way to $5 million!

Scholarships named for businesses or living individuals are called Expression of Gratitude Scholarships and those established in memory of a deceased individual are called Memorial Scholarships. All endowed assets are pooled into one investment, and each scholarship maintains its own fund balance. ■

Townhome Update

The Grace Townhouses are now officially housing students! The ribbon-cutting ceremony included local dignitaries like Wyoming’s mayor, members of the Wyoming City Council, state representatives, as well as Grace Christian University board members.

The Grace Townhomes provide an amazing living space for our students. We were blessed to have many friends and donors on hand for the celebration, and we look forward to providing a comfortable home away from home for hundreds more students in years to come.
