Honor Christ In Living
The Gospel is central to everything we do. We serve others in missional community. We are committed to learning, self-awareness, and spiritual growth. We collaborate with likeminded believers, churches, and ministries.
We partner with educational institutions and seminaries to train students for effective spiritual and pastoral care, especially through quality Clinical Pastoral Education offering Graduate level academic credit.
We sing, pray, teach, coach, and preach in His powerful name. Our past, present, and future are centered on His Gospel. Our purpose on this earth is to make much of Jesus Christ. Our mission is and shall always be what Jesus says our mission is and we stand firm on His truth until His return.
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,"
1 Peter 3: 15
Our Teaching Philosophy.
A = Communicate Clear Expectations
Our teachers will hold students accountable to the pursuit of excellence. Meeting deadlines, quality work, and commitment to learning are core value of our teaching staff.
B = Create an Understandable Process
Our desire is to give students a process they can follow that will enhance their understanding of the material. A process becomes a workable plan that guides our students across the finish line to graduation. Students gain access to the award winning Populi learning management system.
C = The Heart of a Coach
We have a heart for helping our students make genuine progress at becoming a better person and an excellent spiritual care provider. We will listen to our students so we can help them grow. Let us coach you toward progress in your own self-awareness while gaining the ability to truly help others.
D = A Favorable Learning Environment
We are dedicated to the hard work of study and want our students to experience joy in the learning. Though the work is expected to be hard, the resulting life change should bring joy to the experience. If you come ready to learn, to grow, and to become something better, you will enjoy this hard work!
Life Coaching - A Core Value
One of our "Core Values" is the ability and desire to influence people toward pursuing and accomplishing their God given purpose for their lives. As life coaches at heart, we emphasize helping our students become leaders who learn to influence, shepherd, and lead others well.
Because of this core value of coaching, your experience as a student will be life changing. The hard work of study has its own rewards too. Our teachers are Certified Master Christian Life Coaches who care enough to give you the assistance and encouragement you need to make real progress toward a better future.
We expect to hold our students accountable to excellence, the hard work of study, forward movement, and genuine progress so that they become very capable graduates.
