No student has to wait for a full year or semester to start with studies. Different people
study at different paces, which means, a student can now determine and maintain his
or her own pace.
Students can register at any time of the year as and when it suits the student best in
terms of own circumstances, whether it be available funds, job requirements or any
other circumstances. Our online learning programs serve students who cannot attend
our campuses, who are unable to attend a Church-based Bible University in their
various cities, who are pursuing a degree, but need to complete some courses
through distance delivery.
Our Online education brings the college with all its resources right into your home
which you can access at your convenient time.
We have listed a number of advantages of online learning:
Flexibility - You can access your course materials at any time of the day and night
and from anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet access and a computer
or similar device that has internet accessibility. We can also post your books to you if
posting becomes an option.
Convenience - Campus classes are rigid whereas online study can be scheduled
around work and family as long as you are disciplined and put in the necessary hours
of work required for the online classes.

flung places across the globe and connect you with unique pieces of information that

About Grace
Prof. Rudolph with Dr. Kargbo and his wife Mrs. Sarah in Sierra Leone
12. GIBU Students information Catalog Page 12
The purpose of Grace international Bible University is to help all
churches and Christians fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ
throughout the world. Jesus said, ―All authority has been given to Me in
heaven and on earth, go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18–20). The
Grace International Bible University helps Christians get the education
they need by making G.I.B.U. affordable for people who are not able to
pay thousands of dollars per year to attend a major Bible University. It
makes a Bible education available by its location right in the city at your
own Church or Community. It makes a Bible education achievable for
people of all ethnic and socioeconomic groups. G.I.B.U. makes Bible
education practical for those who want an education that focuses on
training in the Bible, Ministry, and the Christian Life. And G.I.B.U. helps
churches by developing loyal, competent members who will work with
the pastor as he or she leads. Just what you‘ve been looking for!

descriptions section of the admissions for specifics.
GRACE SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE
The School of the Bible includes all undergraduate programs,
Certificate, Associate Diploma, and Bachelor. This is the division that
continues the primary purpose for which Grace was founded, which is to
help fulfill the Great Commission through the development of individuals
17. GIBU Secular Curriculum Page 17
who will plant, renew, and multiply churches in the urban centers of the
world, including training and developing lay leadership for churches, and
providing Bible education for all Christians, which is balanced, life-
related, and grounded in Biblical principles and church history.
GRACE SCHOOL OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES
Since the purpose of Grace is to facilitate the fulfillment of the Great
Commission, the School of Intercultural Studies is designed to prepare
people, specifically to penetrate new areas with the gospel, usually
through starting new works, but also through support of the existing
missions. The latest ―cutting-edge‖ concepts are taught, and the
student is introduced to the work of today‘s leaders. This School offers
both Biblical Master, Doctorate &Ph.D. degrees. Jesus said, this gospel
of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all
nations, and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14).
Bishop Prof. Rudolph with Bishop Asare, and Dr. Frank in Ghana
GRACE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
The School of Theology provides graduate-level seminary education for
those who are preparing for the professional ministry and for others who
want to excel in their quest for knowledge and effectiveness in the
kingdom of God. This School offers both Bachelor Master, Doctorate,
and Ph.D. degrees. Never has the need been greater for God‘s people to
regroup and bring revival; and the best way to see it happen is to
strengthen and multiply Christian leaders globally.
18. GIBU Students information Catalog Page 18
OUR VISION
The Vision of G.I.B.U. is to help offer free tuition to Christians by
establishing Colleges in more the 150 Nations, giving affiliations to about
fifty thousand Churches, and by giving (250) Thousands of Scholarships

G.I.B.U. MISSION
Our mission is to help train and conduct a quality biblical education and
produce godly leaders through our free tuition for bachelor, master, and
Ph.D. Degree Programs. This will be done by providing electronic
teaching materials, starting new colleges throughout the globe. We do
this by appointing National, Regional, State, Province, or County
Directors, who will then help direct the national university in their
respective countries. They will in turn, recognize and accept this mission
to add or to establish colleges across their Nation through local churches
for the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
The mission of Grace is to equip all believes regarded of denominations
to train ministers, church leaders, to partner with other ministries and
individual minister through biblical education.
19. GIBU Secular Curriculum Page 19
STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Holy Bible, consisting both the Old and New Testaments, is
inspired by God, the only scriptural truth, and the standard for Christian
living.
The True Jesus Church, established by our Lord Jesus Christ, through
the Holy Spirit during the time of the 'latter rain', is the restored true
church of the apostolic time.
Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins for
regeneration, in the name of Jesus Christ. The baptism must take place
in natural living water, such as the river, sea or creek. Receiving the
Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, is the guarantee of our
inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The ceremony of foot washing enables one to have a part with the Lord
Jesus.
It also serves as a constant reminder that one should have love,
holiness, humility, forgiveness, and service. Every person who has
received water baptism must have his/her feet washed in the name of
Jesus Christ.
The Holy Communion is the self-punishment to remember the death of
the Lord Jesus Christ. It enables us to partake of the flesh and blood of
our Lord and to be in spiritual union with Him so that we can have eternal
life and be raised on the last day. This sacrament shall be held as often
as possible.
Salvation is given by the grace of God through faith. Believers must rely
on the Holy Spirit to follow holiness, to honor God, and to love humanity.
Bishop Prof. Rudolph presiding over a consecration ceremony, Ghana.
20. GIBU Students information Catalog Page 20
The Lord's Second Coming will take place on the last day when He
descends from heaven to judge the world; the righteous will receive
eternal life, while the wicked will be eternally condemned.
OUR VALUES
GRACE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE UNIVERSITY is non-denominational
and has been established to work in collaboration with churches and
other ministries in the area who want to see a rapid increase in the
number and effectiveness of churches in the City.
Grace is instrumental in keeping the people‘s civilization and socio-
economic identity intact. It is a multi-ethnic school that helps each group
develops its own approach to reaching its people for Christ.
Grace is designed for regular people who will never be able to afford a
major Christian University or Collage education; for people who come
from oral tradition cultures and therefore do not fit in well with the
dominant academic establishment; and for people who have been
―marginalized‖ by ―the system‖ for any number of other reasons.
Grace is designed to develop character, Bible knowledge, and
relationship with God, and ministry capability.
Here at Grace, we use teachers, who are spiritually mature and have
ministries themselves; who teach from experience as well as academic
preparation.
Bishop Nana Osei Asibey- was Consecrated by Bishop Prof. Rudolph & CLC
21. GIBU Secular Curriculum Page 21
Every teacher is gifted with the ability to make the classroom come alive,
to cause learning and life-changing experience right in the room with little
outside homework needed. Grace is designed for working people with
families who are active in their own churches and, therefore, do not have
great amounts of time for schooling.

Rev. Dr. Jack Davis Rev. Prof. Goodwill Walter (C. inst. T) Bishop Emmanuel
E. Hargrove USA.
Nigeria Virginia, USA
FOSTER A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW IN ATTITUDES AND VALUES
(HEART)
Objective: GIBU graduates will be able to articulate a biblically-based
Christian worldview of the subject area of study through the informed
perspectives they express in their academic activities.
A biblically-based Christian worldview emphasizes the interpretation of
personal and cultural beliefs and practices, through the lens of Scripture
apart from the theological positions of any one Christian denomination.
An informed perspective is one that explores and utilizes precedent
literature to compare the attitudes and values in one worldview with
those of another.
23. GIBU Secular Curriculum Page 23
FOSTER SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND WHOLE PERSON
DEVELOPMENT (SOUL)
Objective: GIBU graduates will be able to identify best practices that
contribute to personal growth and spiritual formation through self-
assessment and peer evaluation.
Best practices are sustainable actions and conditions that a person has
experienced as making a long-term and positive impact on their whole
personal development. Through self-assessment a person evaluates
their formation and development, which guides them in identifying their
best practices. Through peer evaluation a person receives external
feedback, which helps define self-assessment.

understanding of the principles and practices of the subject area of study
through critical reflection of scholarly resources.

and abstract information, and to utilize that information correctly and as
appropriate to the context. Critical reflection evaluates those facts,
abstractions, and applications through the lens of a biblically-based
Christian worldview and the objective analysis of authoritative resources.
DEVELOP SUBJECT AREA APPLICATIONS AND SKILLS
(STRENGTH)
Objective: GIBU graduates will be able to demonstrate skills in the
subject area of study through well-reasoned applications and evaluations
deployed in life, work, and ministry.
25. GIBU Secular Curriculum Page 25
Well-reasoned applications and evaluations are a demonstration of the
skill of a person to integrate a Christian worldview in attitudes and values
with spiritual formation and whole person development and subject area
knowledge and understanding. A person demonstrates their skill in the

evaluations in life, work, and ministry context.

her International President‘s Office at Baltimore Maryland, USA. Bishop
Dr. Frank A. Willett - Ph.D., and the Founder, Chancellor and
International Director based in Liberia, West Africa.
Grace has been purposely well thought out with many locations so that
students may remain at their own area to minister while attending college
to train for greater effectiveness.
This decentralized approach requires that provision must be made to
offer students sufficient courses for their degrees at each campus.
Therefore, each course is carefully constructed so that various levels of
students may take it simultaneously.
