Grayson Short

Admissions Counselor

Hey! My name is Grayson, and I graduated from Highlands College in 2026 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry.

I still remember stepping onto campus for the very first time when a wave of excitement, gratitude, and reverence for God washed over me as I realized I was walking in His calling for my life. Those four years were the most formative of my life. I grew deeper in my relationship with Jesus, was molded into a ministry leader, was prepared for full-time ministry, and never did it alone. I met my best friends, a faith-filled community, and even my wife along the way!

Every person carries unique gifts, strengths, and a God-given calling. I find joy in helping students recognize theirs and take their next step. If you’re feeling a call to full-time ministry, then I cannot wait to serve you as you step into your God-given purpose!

Ideal Day Off: Outdoors with my favorite people and great food!
