OUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN USED TO TRAIN OVER 180,000 PASTORS & CHURCH LEADERS WORLDWIDE

About 85% of the world's churches are led by pastors that have no theological training. Many factors prevent these leaders from attending Seminary (cost, geography, no curriculum in their language, etc.). Our ministry extends affordable, theological training to them in their language.
We have classes in about 100 countries and our curriculum is available in 42 languages.

The Global Church Leadership Challenge

85% of the world's churches are led by faithful pastors who have never received formal theological training. Geography, cost, language barriers, and family responsibilities prevent thousands of dedicated church leaders from accessing the biblical education they need to effectively serve in the church.

Many of these leaders serve with passion and commitment but lack confidence in biblical interpretation, doctrine, and ministry skills. They need training that occurs locally—practical, affordable, and culturally relevant.
