We invite you to change the very landscape of eternity by investing in Christ-honoring leaders for the work of the Kingdom. Accessible Christ-centered higher education equips students to emerge as strong witnesses who bring hope to a hurting world. Your partnership provides opportunities for students to grow spiritually, mentally, and academically as they integrate faith into their profession. Your generosity strengthens the next generation and ensures a better tomorrow to the glory of God.

The 2020 Virtual Jessup Gala
Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow
A Tribute to President Emeritus, Bryce Jessup, 1935 – 2020
“I Will Get There”
Crossroads
President’s Welcome
Dr. John Jackson
This evening will be like no other! I want to welcome you to this year’s virtual gala…it’s our first one ever and I assure you it will be a unique and dynamic look into the Jessup past, present, and future. Our theme is Strength for Today and Hope for Tomorrow and it could not be more appropriate. If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we simply have no certainties in life other than the certainty of the goodness of God.
The future is often seen most clearly through our amazing students. You’ll hear stories that will move you and encourage your heart.
You are not only partners in their journey, you are the key to it! Thanks for joining us as we watch the future become reality one life at a time.
