Grace Beyond BordersSeminary
100% online — no need to sit in a classroom. Most of the material is watched on video and worked on directly on the website, with one short live virtual session per week with a lecturer. Tuition is very affordable and friendly for working professionals who want to keep serving while they work.
Grace Beyond Borders Seminary (GBBS) is a theological education institution established in 2021, under the mission organization Grace Beyond Borders International. With a goal of preparing ministers and church servants to serve across cultures and nations, GBBS offers theological education accessible from anywhere in Indonesia.
Four reasons our students choose to study with GBBS.
Set your own study hours each day — just about 45 minutes a day is enough. Very friendly for those who are still working or in ministry while studying.
Tuition is designed to be as low as possible so it is accessible to everyone. For the non-accredited track, you can even pay tuition according to what you can afford.
Both an accredited track in Indonesia and a non-accredited track from Grace Beyond Borders International (USA) are available, based on your needs.
Assignments are designed to be light without sacrificing quality, guided by experienced lecturers in their field.
A learning approach designed to fit around work or ministry.
Every program is available in both Indonesian and English classes, accessible from mobile or computer.
Complete your personal data, spiritual background, and program choice — about 5 minutes.
The GBBS team reviews your registration and confirms it.
Your learning portal account is active as soon as the form is submitted.

Registering today is free, with no cost at all. The table below only applies once you're officially enrolled as a student, and even then it's the TOTAL for your entire course of study (4 years for a Bachelor's) — not something due all at once. You simply start with the initial registration fee, then pay the rest in installments per semester.
