Grace Team University
“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”2 Timothy 2:15 · KJV
Our Charge
Grace Team University exists for one reason: the lost are perishing and the church is starving — and both for the same cause: the Word of God is not being taught.
Men are dying in their sins without ever hearing the gospel preached plain. Professing Christians sit in pews for years and cannot rightly divide the Scriptures they claim to believe. God said it first: 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge' (Hosea 4:6, KJV).
This university is our answer. We teach the whole Bible — every book, every chapter, verse by verse — from the King James Bible, free to any soul with ears to hear. No tuition. No watered-down gospel. No entertainment dressed as worship. Sound doctrine, taught straight, with an exam at the end of every teaching, because the Word deserves to be learned, not skimmed.
And we do not stop at teaching. The same gospel we teach here, we preach in the open air — preaching to the lost at any cost. If this school makes you comfortable, it has failed. It is meant to equip you, convict you, and send you: to your family, to your street, to the highways and hedges — 'compel them to come in, that my house may be filled' (Luke 14:23, KJV).
Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Then go preach.
The Command
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."— Mark 16:15
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine."— 2 Timothy 4:2
"When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."— Ezekiel 33:8
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"— Romans 10:14
"And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."— Jude 1:23
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."— Romans 1:16
Voices That Drive Us
"Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that."
"I look upon this world as a wrecked vessel. God has given me a lifeboat and said, 'Moody, save all you can.'"
"Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."
"The world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it is waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity."

Start Here — Take the Placement Test
Every new student begins with the Bible Placement Test: 50 multiple-choice questions and 5 short answers, scored the moment you finish with a percentage and a letter grade. Your result places you at one of the four levels — and your level points you to your exam tier: the Level 1 Exams are the gentlest, rising to the Level 4 Exams, the most thorough. The courses and teachings are the same for every student; only the exams come at four levels of depth. Your placement also routes you to a starter course for any section that needs strengthening, and you receive a printable Placement Certificate with your level and your grade.
Take the Placement Test ›One Test — Four Levels
The Placement Test scores you section by section and places you at one of four levels — and your level points you to your exam tier. Grace Team University has one course of study for everyone: the same teachings, the same books, for every student. What comes in four levels is the exams — every teaching carries a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 Exam, differing only in depth, never in trickiness. There is no failing placement — every student is placed, and every placement comes with a clear course path.

Greek Word Studies
The verse-by-verse teachings pause on the key words — the big, weighty theological words that carry a passage: God, holy, glory, wrath, mercy, grace, faith, repentance, sin, salvation, worship, fear, kingdom, covenant, righteousness. The little joining words are never studied — only the words that bear the doctrine. Each study is built on the word's definition — what it truly means in the Greek — with the Greek word and its transliteration as the label:
Lexicon Definitions
The substance of every study: what the word actually means in the Greek — its primary meaning, its full range of meaning, and how it is used across Scripture, drawn from the Greek lexicons.
The Greek Word
The word itself in Greek script, exactly as it stands in the text — the label the definition hangs on.
Transliteration
The same word in English letters, so every student can read it and say it aloud.
Interlinear Rendering
The verse laid out word by word from the Greek, so you can see the defined word at work in its sentence.
Certificates
Finish a teaching, then open its exams here. Every teaching carries four exams — a Level 1 Exam (the gentlest), a Level 2 Exam, a Level 3 Exam, and a Level 4 Exam (the most thorough) — all drawn from the same teaching, which is the same for every student. Take the exam at your level, answer, submit, and see your percentage score and letter grade right away. Pass at 70% — a C or better — and claim a formal Certificate of Completion naming the level exam you passed, with the university seal, your score and grade, and the date, ready to print and keep. Students with a free account have every certificate kept on record in their dashboard.
Certificate of Completion
For one teaching, mastered at your level. Pass any one of a teaching's four level exams — 70% or better, a letter grade of C or better — and receive a formal certificate bearing the university seal, your name, the level exam you passed (for example, “Proverbs 5 — Level 2 Exam”), your percentage score and letter grade, and the date.
Certificate of Placement
Issued by the Bible Placement Test. It records the level you were placed at, your percentage score and letter grade, your section scores, and any starter courses routed to you — the official start of your course of study.
Certificate of Graduation
For a whole course, finished. Pass every exam in one complete series — all 31 chapters of Proverbs, all 43 sections of the Kings, or any other full course — and the university confers its Certificate of Graduation in your name.
Exams by Teaching
Finish a teaching, then open its exams here. Every teaching carries four exams — a Level 1 Exam (the gentlest), a Level 2 Exam, a Level 3 Exam, and a Level 4 Exam (the most thorough) — all drawn from the same teaching, which is the same for every student. Pass at 70% — a C or better — and earn a formal Certificate of Completion naming the level exam you passed.
