Bakke Graduate University (BGU) is a non-denominational school which serves and is served by a large international network of urban leaders. Our mission is to strengthen ministry leaders who steward resources with and for vulnerable people and places, by means of contextual, Christian-based education innovatively delivered throughout the urban world. We believe in the affirmations declared in the Lausanne Covenant: “We believe the Gospel is God’s good news for the whole world, and we are determined by His grace to obey Christ’s commission to proclaim it to every person and to make disciples of every nation. We desire, therefore, to affirm our faith and our resolve and to make public our covenant.” Because we are a part of the ‘whole church’, we partner with various ministries, churches, leadership networks, and other seminaries and colleges that share our common vision and values as stated in the Lausanne Covenant. Our doctoral and masters students receive their education by using cities as their classroom in various major cities throughout the world, such as New York, Hong Kong and Manila.
