Greenville University thrives as a worldwide learning community of grateful and faithful Christ-followers who warmly welcome others. We see all persons within our ever-growing reach as bearers of God’s image and beneficiaries of God’s grace. Here, students are seen, known, and valued. Able and trusted guides help them live, learn, and grow into their unique God-given stories and callings. At commencement, we celebrate the end of their journey with Greenville University, and we bless them as they live lives of character and service to their world.
