About Us

Great Lakes Christian College (GLCC) is a Christ-centered institution of higher education committed to glorifying God by preparing students to become faithful servant-leaders in their churches, communities, and workplaces. Located in Lansing, Michigan, the university provides a close-knit, spiritually grounded learning environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.

We believe education extends far beyond the classroom. Through intentional community, rigorous academics, and deep spiritual formation, we equip students to understand their calling and live out the gospel with purpose and integrity.

Since our students will be serving primarily in church-related, congregational contexts, our primary task is to educate men and women to be servant-leaders in preaching and other ministry roles. Secondarily, the College educates students to be servant-leaders in careers related to the church (e.g. para-church organizations such as Christian schools) or institutions in the public sector. In both instances, preparing students to be servant-leaders is central to the College’s founding character, history, curriculum, and campus ethos.

As a Christian academic community, Great Lakes Christian College integrates Biblical studies into every aspect of its curriculum and community life. The faculty, staff, and administration of Great Lakes Christian College regard the Scriptures as the revealed, inspired, and infallible Word of God. The Scriptures find their place not only in the classroom, but throughout the campus community, especially in student life and service.
