Lifestyle Commitment

Please read the following statement thoughtfully before signing:

Grace Seminary strives to create and promote an atmosphere that will encourage the student to develop the highest attainable degree of maturity within the framework of an evangelical Christian faith. The Christian life is primarily positive rather than negative. However, Grace Seminary feels that a few specific standards are necessary in the best interests of the student body. In order to establish a wholesome environment, all students are asked to subscribe to these standards prior to admission. Any student who can accept these guidelines conscientiously will find Grace Seminary a congenial atmosphere in which to nourish Christian faith.

Grace Theological Seminary holds that:

• The Bible is the fully inspired Word of God, and its teachings are the final authority in matters of faith and life.
• Jesus Christ should be the foundation and center of every individual’s life.
• As a life can never be complete without fulfillment in Christ Jesus and His Word, neither is knowledge complete except as it relates to God’s eternal values.
• An important aspect of life for Grace Seminary students is corporate worship and fellowship. Therefore, regular attendance in an evangelical church is required of all D.Min. students.
• As part of Grace Seminary’s commitment to a distinctive life-style and experience, students are to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, tobacco, sexual misconduct, gambling, dancing, cheating, theft, coarse or obscene language, or any other conduct inconsistent with the goals and traditions of the school. Further, Grace Seminary deplores those aspects of theatre, entertainment media, and literature which are morally degrading; students are to abstain from such activities.
• It should be understood that any behavior which indicates that an enrolled student has little regard for living a life honoring to God, or whose conduct evidences a spirit of disregard for the seminary’s standards, will be sufficient reason for disciplinary action or dismissal.
• If admitted as a student to Grace Theological Seminary, I will strive to: grow intellectually and spiritually; earnestly seek to abide by and maintain the standards of Grace Theological Seminary; and work to make a positive contribution to the campus environment.
