Overview

Grace College is a small evangelical Christian college in Winona Lake, Indiana, affiliated with the Charis Fellowship (formerly the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches). It sits on a lake in a town built around Winona Lake's history as a center of American revivalism, once home to evangelist Billy Sunday. The college pairs a residential undergraduate program with an on-campus theological seminary training pastors and ministry leaders, so undergraduates share a campus with graduate-level seminary students day to day.

Academics

Grace has built recognized strength in the health professions, with occupational therapy and physician assistant programs, alongside business, education, and biblical studies. The college offers accelerated and adult-completion degree formats alongside its traditional four-year track, reflecting a practical, workforce-oriented bent even as chapel and biblical coursework remain part of every student's schedule.

Worth knowing

Every undergraduate takes coursework in Bible and theology regardless of major, and campus life runs on an evangelical rhythm of chapel and small groups. Winona Lake itself grew up around a Chautauqua-style religious assembly ground, and Grace's ties to the Charis Fellowship run through its governance and campus culture.
