this agreement which will help you know our expectations of visiting workers and the standards we strive to uphold. The same standards are applied to full-time and part-time workers.

Contact our school office.
We believe that training for missions begins in the home church, that spiritual disciplines are developed under the instruction of pastors, Sunday school teachers, and youth pastors, that spiritual gifts are brought out by the Holy Spirit in the context of the Body of Christ known as the local church. Without that background and training, in general, people are unprepared to join a missions team. Additionally, they often lack the much-needed prayer and emotional support needed for cross-cultural work.
