Keeping Alumni Connected
The first chapel of the Spring Semester is traditionally known as the Dean's Chapel. This year began with academic dean, Dr. Steve Lim's chapel message based on Luke 2:52 which challenged students to focus on ways to continue growing in God.

What's New?
Each One Pray One
 Thanks so much to those of you who were able to answer the call in September for the Annual Alumni Phonathon. Students were so blessed by the generosity of our alumni and now hope to bless you!
On February 11th and 12th, staff, faculty and students will be calling AGTS alumni again, this time to give back by encouraging you and praying for any needs you may have. We receive numerous prayer requests throughout the year but want to also take time to pray a special blessing over each and every one of you.
