Attending Great Northern University helped prepare me for seminary. Coming from the standard and quality of papers I had to write at GNU, it has made my seminary work seem more doable because I am now experienced in the process of writing papers and did very similar work in undergrad.

When I think of my time at GNU, I think of growth. During my education I have improved my writing, broadened my community, and deepened my wisdom. Not only have I grown as a student, I have grown as a follower of Christ.
—John R. Jesberger the 3rd.
GNU has helped me grow as a scholar by being a safe place to learn to value faithfulness over perfection. The professors have constantly encouraged me to keep showing up and making mistakes and learning from them, and have modeled this faithfulness by sticking with me when learning is a struggle.
—Grace Blevins
What meant the most to me about my GNU education were the small class sizes and personal relationships I was able to form with students and professors. People would follow up with me and pray with me if they knew I was struggling. I learned so much from my teachers because we really knew each other.
—Hannah Mekkes
GNU has helped me grow in the amount of responsibilities I can take on. It’s giving me the room I need to grow in wisdom, community, and scholarly thinking.
—Isaiah Cantillana
My favorite part of GNU is the community. I've built a lot of really cool relationships. GNU provides a space that allows me to have really good, hard conversations. My relationship with the Lord has grown because of the community here.
