Hallelujah!
Respected pastors, missionaries, and ministers, I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
GMU, which has continued to grow, has now proven its excellence and public confidence as a prestigious seminary that can stand shoulder to shoulder with mainstream seminaries in the United States through ATS, TRACS, and ABHE full member accreditation. Grace Mission University is now recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for PhD in Intercultural Studies (Doctor of Philosophy in Intercultural Studies, ATS, TRACS accreditation), PhD in Educational Studies (Doctor of Philosophy in Education, TRACS accreditation), and DMiss (Doctor of Mission Studies, ATS, TRACS accreditation) The program has enabled us to provide the best education that is not only of high quality but also combines theory and practice.
The outstanding GMU professors will do their best to help each and every student stand tall at the top of ministry, mission, and theology.
Dear co-workers,
this is a great opportunity that God has granted us in the last days. Please challenge the GMU doctoral course with a new spirit. I am sure that these challenges will help establish evangelical ministry and mission theology, as well as self-development, and will prepare the primer for the final revival.

Letter of invitation from the dean of the Doctoral Studies
There has never been a more uncertain time than now. At a time when even large corporations are making bone-crushing investments to survive, where is the stewardship of God’s kingdom (Matthew 13:52) going? Is the apostolic church, which inherited its missional DNA and even raged against the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 11:12), a relic of the past or a dynamic ongoing process?
Since its inception, Grace Mission University Doctoral Studies has faithfully presented an alternative missions paradigm for a rapidly changing generation.
We now believe that the Doctor of Missiology and three Doctor of Philosophy programs (PhD in Intercultural Studies, PhD in Educational Studies, and PhD in Counseling Psychology) are powerful means of grace for both the nations that need to hear the gospel and the church that needs to share it.
We would like to share with you the vision that God has given to our Doctoral Studies.
– Serve the Churches, which serves more than 27,500 Korean American missionaries and 7,000 Korean diaspora churches around the world.
– Building up global leadership to serve as the next generation of missionaries.
– Leading the Mission, establishing Korean missional theology as an Asian theology that will drive global missions.
The days of going it alone like a lone wolf in Africa are numbered. We are the emperor penguins who move forward together as a team, even if a snowstorm is coming.
Let’s go together!
I promise to stand with you as a faithful and supportive shoulder. Today, I invite you to join the vanguard of an expedition that raises only the victory banner of Christ Jesus Himself.
