Luther Rice Students
I'm so thankful for my time at Luther Rice. My education here has improved so many areas of my ministry. I'm a more well-rounded pastor, preacher, researcher, and writer as a result.
As a nurse by profession, I felt inadequate to deeply explain to unbelievers the way of the cross. Luther Rice has equipped me to better my understanding of the Gospel, and now I am ready to share it with unbelievers all over in the world.
This is a great place for those who are serious about getting the story of Jesus right!

I love it. Luther Rice made going back to college at 46 years old easy to navigate and have been so helpful

I received a quality education from faculty who genuinely cared about my progress. The online format didn’t limit the meaningful connections I built with professors. Regardless of age or season of life, this school genuinely helps you reach your calling.
Every course deepened my understanding of Christ-centered leadership and sharpened my ability to lead with wisdom and grace. I came for a degree - what I gained was a deeper calling, a refined perspective, and a few extra cups of coffee along the way!

A quality, conservative education in a supportive atmosphere. Student engagement is important as well. Some larger, traditional schools tend to make students feel they are lucky to get to attend their institutions. LRCS is glad you are there.
I don’t know what kind of business I’ll work for - or maybe own one day - but at Luther Rice I’m learning business in a Christ-centered environment. I know I'm preparing to be successful and spiritually grounded wherever God leads.
