Don’t be Held Back by Debt or Regret.

A Debt Prevention Model for a Regret-Free College Experience

Since 2004, not a single Institute for G.O.D. student has graduated with college debt.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another. Romans 13:8

College is supposed to prepare you for the future, not shackle you for decades to come.
Graduating college without debt helps you enter into full-time service to God, wherever he calls you.

 The Student Debt Trend

The student debt trend is a nationwide issue for college students, particularly those who attend private Christian schools. The goal of The Institute is to equip students to be capable, competent laborers for the kingdom of God, students who have a top-notch biblical education, and are ready to go into the workforce or further studies having the mind of Christ characterize whatever work they perform. That goal can only be accomplished if our graduates enter into the next phase of life debt free.
