SCHOOL OF MINISTRY

In the school of ministry, you will be equipped to communicate the Word of God effectively as we take the Gospel to the streets. You and our dedicated full-time missionaries will work to reach and disciple Oakland’s inner-city kids and youth.  Through a combination of ministry training and personal hands-on experience, this program is specifically designed to develop and advance your leadership and ministry skills and impart Godly wisdom for modern-day missionary assignments.

OUR MISSION

The school of ministry serves and empowers gospel-centered leaders who take the light of the gospel into Inner-city Oakland.

OUR VISION

The School of Ministry provides a transformational experience for young leaders to propel not just local churches but urban communities around the world with well-trained gospel-centered leaders.

SPIRITUAL INVESTMENT

We take our commitment to interns seriously. Each semester and summer is crafted to intentionally pour into each cohort of interns to help them spiritually thrive.

Our team trains our interns in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership, as well in physical fitness. We aim for interns to leave closer to God and more on fire for Jesus.
