Get the Best of Both Worlds
Journey with us in person and online. You’ll join your peers for an immersive formational experience each September, connect with your class Mondays on Zoom and engage in online forum discussions throughout the week. Along the way, you’ll take a series of courses with the same group of students. Your cohort community will be a source of strength and joy as you push through challenges and grow as children of God.
Read the Signs
Don’t just learn to impart knowledge – learn to discern what people need to flourish. You’ll gain actionable insights from your professors as they lead you down roads of discovery, opening your mind to creative ideas and transforming your capacity as a problem solver. You’ll also develop the cultural sensitivity you need to navigate diverse environments. Get ready for a life of impact.

You’ll be guided by the voice of the Holy Spirit and emerge as a Christ-shaped presence in the world.
