Preparing Laborers for the Harvest

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” — Matthew 9:37

Equipping men and women for Ministry, Missions, Leadership and Kingdom Service through Spirit-filled and Bible-based training.

Raising Spirit-Filled Leaders for Global Impact

Godsglory Institute of Missions and Biblical Studies (GIMBS), formerly Godsglory School of Missions and Church Plantings, was established out of a deep conviction that the Church must move beyond inspiration to intentional preparation.

Recognizing the urgent need for trained missionaries and church planters, the Institute equips believers with theological depth and practical ministry skills. The first set of students graduated in Missions and Church Plantings in 2020. The school has since expanded and restructured to offer more effective theological and ministerial training that also embraces balanced secular apologetics.
