鈥淐redentials given to a servant-leader are used to create less privilege and more capacity to serve.鈥�
鈥淕raduation is an event to celebrate people who have loved you through the journey.鈥�
鈥淧rofessors have expanded my brain. The poor have enlarged my heart.鈥�
鈥淭he more a person studies God, the more they realize how much they don鈥檛 know.鈥�
鈥淭he person who claims to be a theological expert is not.鈥�
鈥淚f you can鈥檛 teach theology to an eight-year-old, then you don鈥檛 understand it.鈥�
These are all statements spoken over the last two decades at various BGU graduation events.
BGU held its 2025 graduation event on June 7 with graduates from BGU鈥檚 English, French, Korean, and Spanish speaking programs. The BGU slogan, 鈥�Don鈥檛 just study the world, study with the world,鈥� was never more apparent as graduates from around the world gathered in Dallas to receive their diplomas and hoods.
BGU prepares students who want to be masters and doctors of service, humility, and discipleship.
As BGU approaches its financial year-end on June 30, please prayerfully consider giving to BGU to help more and more servant-leaders pursue downward mobility.
