Discipleship Growth in Community
True spiritual and intellectual growth thrives in community.

This collaborative approach ensures that your education translates directly into daily practice, equipping you to live out a mature, Christ-centered worldview.
For students seeking to pair classroom learning with leadership development, field internships are available in the areas of Children, Youth, Worship, and Counselling. These positions are open to students maintaining a minimum enrollment of one course per semester, subject to the approval of the respective ministry leader.
