“My experience with the HGS was incredible. As both the principal of an international school and an adjunct professor of children’s ministry in several of our local Bible Schools, the Children’s and Family Ministry Master’s degree has been immensely helpful. I learned more than I could have imagined, and have had passions awoken that take me further in my field than I could have beforehand. I would highly recommend HGS to anyone wanting a biblically sound, high quality education.”
