Rise Up & Make History
Mission-Driven College Athletics
At The Institute for GOD, sports are more than games—they’re opportunities to shape your character, strengthen your faith, and build a team that makes an impact, competitively and in life.
Starting in Fall 2025, we’re launching collegiate athletics with men’s soccer and women’s volleyball.
Inspired by our motto, “Rise Up!”we prepare athletes to face every challenge with resilience and purpose. Whether you’re competing, studying, or serving abroad, you’ll be part of a mission that’s bigger than you.
Sports in the Right Priority
We are first and foremost a Bible and Missions college, but understand the power of utillizing athletic opportunities for church-planting, and mission efforts. We are not a school obsessed with winning titles. We’re here for the deeper character work of disciples who want to be a part of a dynamic team postored to make a worldwide impact.
Listen to our President, Gregg Garner, explain more…
We believe financial barriers shouldn’t hold you back from pursuing a biblical education. We work hard to ensure all students have an opportunity to
graduate from college debt-free! Scholarships are available for academics, service, leadership, hardship, and participation in our ProDev program.
