Complete Your Degree Online
Most of our degree programs (excluding counseling) can be completed 100% online. You can get a flavor for studying online by investigating some of the courses offered digitally this upcoming term:
Partnership Program
Serve the Kingdom,
Not Your Debt
Graduate Debt-Free
More than ever, students now are questioning the age-old “wisdom” that they should take on massive amounts of debt to finance their education. What if there was a way within the Kingdom itself for believers to support students who are following God’s call on their lives? Learn how Gordon-Conwell’s Partnership Program can empower you to graduate debt-free.
Life Together Wednesdays is an exciting new initiative inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book Life Together. Bonhoeffer envisioned theological education happening in the context of worship, discipleship, service, and fellowship. To that end, on Wednesdays, we intentionally gather to practice a rhythm of Life Together, characterized by prayer, worship, and fellowship. Be known, be present, be together!
