Honorary Doctorate

Grace Bible College & Theological Seminary welcomes the opportunity to receive recommendations and nominations of persons in the ministry who deserve the special recognition and honor of receiving the Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree. However, each applicant must meet the criteria established by the GBCTS Board which will also be based upon their evaluation of information provided about the candidates. The Honorary Doctorate Degree is conferred upon distinguished Pastors, Evangelists, Ministers, and other Christian Leaders or Public Servants who have made significant contributions in their respective fields or for the extension of God’s Kingdom.

An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa (Latin:”for the sake of the honour”) is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study, and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the institution.

The Honorary Doctorate Degree is a donor-based award that is awarded solely for the accomplishments and contributions that a person has made. GBCTS does not sell its Honorary Degrees; however, there is a suggested donation amount. Please do not contact us if it is your desire to receive this degree at no cost. The suggested donation amount and the necessary qualification must be met in order to receive this degree.

To recommend a candidate you may fill out the form below. Please ensure that you or the candidate meets the qualifications necessary to receive this degree before making the suggested donation amount. All donations and fees are non-refundable.

Should it become known publicly or otherwise that the degree recipient no longer represents the purpose and mission of GBCTS or is found to have serious integrity issues, GBCTS may withdraw the Honorary Degree.

Grace Bible College & Theological Seminary is a non-profit organization; all donations are tax-deductible.
