Grace Asia, Inc.

What Grace Asia, Inc. does

Grace Asia, Inc. is a SEC-registered non-profit organization established in 2015 in the Philippines, operating as the regional partner of Grace School of Theology (a U.S.-based seminary) to deliver online theological education across Asia. Its core offering is a portfolio of accredited theological degree programs — Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Ministry (MM), Master of Arts in Biblical Studies (MABS), Master of Theology (ThM), and Doctor of Ministry (DMin) — taught by U.S.-based professors and accessed remotely through the GCSD (Grace Center Online) cloud-based instructional platform, with supporting products including Grace On Demand for live faculty access, Grace Theology Press for published resources, and PACE Academy for additional academic programming. The organization serves non-traditional students in Asia — primarily bi-vocational pastors, working professionals, and ministry leaders — who cannot relocate for residential seminary training, with strategic extension sites across the Philippines providing in-person supplements to the digital delivery model.

Revenue is generated through tuition and academic program fees priced at one-third to one-half the cost of comparable U.S. seminaries, with the pricing gap sustained by donor funding for tuition assistance. The go-to-market motion is product-led, leveraging a self-serve cloud platform accessed via phone or personal devices, eight-week module formats for flexibility, and content marketing through graceasia.ph and Grace School of Theology websites, supplemented by student testimonial content (Grace Stories). The board of trustees governance structure, single headquarters in Pasig City, and donor-subsidized pricing collectively characterize this as a mission-driven, cost-leadership-positioned educational ministry rather than a venture-backed technology venture.

Regional players

• China Graduate School of Theology: Hong Kong-based interdenominational seminary offering graduate-level theological programs across Asia. Comparable in serving Asian ministry leaders but geographically distinct and reliant on in-person delivery.
• ACTS (Asian Center for Theological Studies): Korea-based evangelical seminary serving Asian students with graduate theology programs. Comparable theological curriculum and Asian student base, but primarily Korea-centric delivery.
• South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS): India-based theological graduate school serving South Asian ministry leaders. Comparable in serving non-traditional pastors across Asia but focused on the Indian subcontinent with residential and extension models.
• Singapore Bible College: Singapore-based evangelical theological college offering MDiv and graduate ministry programs. Comparable academic offerings and Asian student market, but with Singapore pricing and in-person model rather than Grace Asia's online-plus-extension approach.

Broad incumbents

• Liberty University Online: Large US-based online university offering accredited graduate theological degrees (MDiv, DMin) at scale. Competes for the same Asian online theological student segment with established brand, accreditation, and 24/7 digital delivery.
• Moody Bible Institute / Moody Theological Seminary: US-based evangelical institution with fully online graduate theological degrees and a global student body. Broad incumbent with comparable online theology offerings but US-centric curriculum and pricing.
• Fuller Theological Seminary: US-based accredited seminary offering hybrid and online MDiv/DMin programs with an established Asian student base. Comparable graduate-level theology and digital delivery, with stronger mainstream academic brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Grace School of Theology: The parent US-based institution that Grace Asia partners with. Offers the same MDiv, MM, MABS, ThM, and DMin programs through GCSD and Grace On Demand; curriculum, professors, and platform are shared, making it the closest direct peer and content source.
• Asia Theological Seminary (ATS): A Philippines-based accredited theological seminary offering graduate-level ministry and divinity programs. Competes for the same bi-vocational pastor and ministry-leader segment in the Philippines through in-person and extension-based delivery.

Others

• Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS): US-based evangelical seminary offering ThM and DMin programs with growing online and extension options in Asia. Comparable graduate theology curriculum and increasingly overlapping digital delivery model.
