Overview

Grace School of Theology is an evangelical seminary in The Woodlands, Texas, north of Houston, teaching from a distinctly free-grace theological position — a tradition associated with theologians such as Zane Hodges that draws a sharp line between the free gift of eternal life and the ongoing call to discipleship. It offers graduate-level theological education for students preparing for pastoral ministry, teaching, or missions rather than a general undergraduate experience.

Academics

Coursework centers on biblical studies, systematic theology, and ministry preparation at the graduate level, delivered largely online with periodic intensives so that working pastors and ministry staff can complete a degree without relocating to Texas. Faculty and coursework reflect the school's free-grace convictions throughout the curriculum, not just in a single doctrine course.

Worth knowing

The free-grace position is a real and specific doctrinal stance — distinct from, and debated within, broader evangelical theology — so a prospective student should understand this distinctive before enrolling rather than assume the school teaches a generic evangelical curriculum. It has no undergraduate division, campus housing, or general-education programs; its identity is entirely graduate ministry training.
