Institution Mission Statement:
Global University is a Christian university in the Pentecostal tradition that:
- 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
Areas of Special Focus:
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 on-line courses. However, print courses remain a mainstay for those who prefer to study in print or do not have internet access. The goal is to make evangelism, discipleship, and training accessible to everyone-everywhere!
