integrates education and service through a worldwide network for student support.
provides access to ministerial training from adult continuing education to the graduate level.
produces curricular materials in multiple languages.
serves the local church and Christian community through evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training through nonresidential distributed learning methods.

Training pastors, church leaders, and workers to better fulfill their calling for service in and through local churches.

Description of Institution:

Global University has a combined history of more than 80 years of service, yet is on the cutting edge of technology with online courses.
