More Than Academics

A transformative journey

Students grow in their understanding of God’s Word, develop humble confidence in their leadership and learn what it means to live with intentional presence in ministry and life. Along the way they discover their gifts and calling, and gain practical insight into church planting: what it takes to start, grow and lead a thriving church built on truth, grace and mission.

Whether you feel called to plant a church, serve in ministry or influence the marketplace, this is a place to be equipped, challenged and inspired, to discover your story for His glory. And it’s all happening near the shores of Lake Erie, just minutes from Cedar Point and within reach of Cleveland.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
