FGS Graduate Division
Dr. Ed Hoard, Dean
At Free Grace
Seminary, we believe there is a need to train up
leaders, not just full-time ministers. Our
degree programs are designed to help men
and women prepare for professional Christian
ministry in local church and para-church
settings, this program provides students with
in-depth study of biblical leadership principles
and strategies and intensive study in the
scriptures and essential truths of the Christian
faith. Emphasis is placed on understanding and
utilizing the core values, knowledge and skills
needed to effectively serve in a variety of
ministries within the local church or in
parachurch ministries.
The purpose of FGS
is to produce competent Bible expositors who are qualified to
serve God effectively as pastors, teachers, missionaries, or
non-vocational leaders in other areas of Christian ministry.
