  • 1. Biblical
  • We believe the Bible is completely and finally the authoritative and inerrant Word of God and is the basis for our entire curriculum.
  • 2. Experiential
  • We believe pastoral training must include in-person, hands-on, and relational integration to develop competent and qualified Christian shepherds.
  • 3. Academic
  • We believe effective pastors require serious, rigorous, and practical theological and ecclesiological training to sustain the demands of ministry in our culture.
  • 4. Missional
  • We believe in training pastors who plant biblical house churches that multiply into more biblical house churches.
