You Are Called to
Serve Your Church
and Community

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

In order to do that, you need Biblical training.

The problem is, there’s a lot you don’t know, which
makes you feel anxious about your ability to serve.

We believe every Christian is called to serve God.

We understand the fear of serving in ministry
which is why every class you take will be taught by
someone who serves in the local church.

For many of our students, the question is not which
seminary they will attend but if they will attend
seminary at all.

Without a formal theological education, students can
lack the tools and knowledge necessary to lead their
churches and communities well.

If God has placed a call on your life, you deserve the
opportunity to answer that call.
