The Scripture clearly teaches that it is important for every Christian to study and apply the Bible to their own lives, as well as maintain a time of communication with God through prayer (1 Tim 4:5). Because of this we have a time set aside in the schedule specifically for that purpose.

It is essential that our students learn how to carefully and humbly handle God’s Word. We help our students understand the appropriate Hermeneutical guidelines so that when they leave they can make appropriate applications to their lives and to the lives of those to whom they minister (2 Tim 2:15).

Ministry is an essential part of our program. The Scripture teaches that we are all called to prepare for and involved in ministry (Eph 4:11-13). At the beginning of the year, each of our students signs up for at least one of our various ministries. These practical ministry assignments are opportunities for each pupil to take what is being learned in the classroom and apply it immediately to real life situations.  For a list of these various ministries click here.

We challenge our students to focus on having an authentic Christian community, which means letting down the façade, being real with each other and our struggles, carrying one another’s burdens, and challenging each other as we strive to become more like Christ (Gal 6:2).

Our students are invited to take part in our mentorship program. We are more than just an academic institution, but our greater calling and biblical mandate is to be disciplers of men (Matt 28:19,20). Because discipleship cannot be a forced process, students are not required, but are highly encouraged to take part in this program. Those that do so, are assigned to a staff member who will meet with them regularly for encouragement, counsel, accountability, and prayer.

We believe that the Bible says we are to do all things for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31). All students have a work assignment 6 hours a week that helps keep tuition costs down but also provides them the opportunity to learn how to honor God in the workplace.
