Authorization & Associations
Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission
Grace Biblical Seminary has met the requirements from the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission for exemption from applicable Georgia law (Code 20-3-250) as a religious institution.
- GBS does not accept state or federal funds.
- GBS cannot accept students' federal or state educational loans to pay for tuition and other fees
- GBS grants only ministry and theological degrees.
Tax-Exempt Non-Profit Organization
Grace Biblical Seminary has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all contributions are tax exempt.
Accreditation
GBS is not accredited by a government accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. We have no plans to pursue government accreditation. The standardization and conformity required by traditional (government) accreditation would contradict our doctrinal beliefs, mission, and philosophy of Christian education.
The transferability of credits you earn at Grace Biblical Seminary is at the discretion of the institution you may seek to transfer.
It’s up to accredited Bible colleges and seminaries—not the federal government—to determine whether they will accept some or all credits earned from Grace Biblical Seminary & Bible Institute. Every institution can deny transfer credit if the course content is inconsistent with its academic integrity and/or biblical principles.

Associations
Free Grace Alliance
The mission of the Free Grace Alliance is to advance the grace message throughout the world by connecting, encouraging, and equipping the body of Christ. We reach out to all points of the world through the internet, conferences, seminars, our magazine, and other media.
As members of the Evangelical Tradition, we affirm the Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God and is therefore inerrant in the autographs. Furthermore, God is a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory.
As members of this tradition, we are concerned about the clear understanding, presentation, and advancement of the Gospel of God’s Free Grace.
