Dr. Mary L. Grimes, President of Shepard College

We are living in exciting times!  Ephesians 4: 11-12 states “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”  Our God given, God inspired, gifts and talents in the arts only further demonstrate the diversity, creativity, and mind of God.  Shepard College is the first of its kind.  A college of ministry solely dedicated to all thee areas of the fine arts—music, art, and dance.  Our aim is to train, empower, and develop ministers and community leaders in the arts, in every form, all over the world. We offer classes online as well as face-to-face sessions through our Summer Intensive 2-Week Programs. 

We bring students of Shepard College together from all over the world in our weekly chapel services that are held live from churches, ministries, and festivals from around the globe.  The 30-minute program is accessible to you twice a week through our “Chapel Alive” section of the site. Shepard College is committed to exposing you to cutting edge theory and practice in the arts from trained and qualified professionals from seminary as well as the most prestigious universities around the world.  Take this opportunity to browse our site and find out more about all of the exciting things that you can be a part of at Shepard College.
