A Note from Brian We’re in a special season on both campuses as students wrap up fall classes and head into the holidays. Our students are not only growing in their understanding of His Word but also putting their faith into action – sharing the gospel, serving in local churches, and preparing for upcoming ministry trips.  As we head into Thanksgiving, I hope you’ll take time to reflect on what God has done in your student’s life this semester. Thank you for your con... ➜ READ MORE

A Note from Brian Our school year is off to a great start! Students are settling into their service and ministry assignments while learning to balance their schedules.

A Note from Brian As the academic part of the school year ends, I first want to say how blessed I am to see the maturity in our student body this year. Watching them grow and change brings joy to my heart. God has truly done a great work. As we look ahead, I cannot emphasize enough how the upcoming summer ministry is the perfect capstone to the year. All they have learned in the classroom this year will be tested during the summer. When August comes, they will look back on thi... ➜ READ MORE

A Note from Brian It is hard to believe that there are just over a month of classes left in this school year before a great summer of ministry for our students. Watching our student body grow in their walk with Jesus Christ has been a joy. The Winter Camp season was a stretching time, but the fruit was amazing. We saw 4,936 campers attend one of our winter camps, with 390 placing their faith in Jesus and 2,920 deciding to dedicate their life to Him. Your student was a huge part of that! We... ➜ READ MORE
