Community Outreach

Overview

The primary purpose of the Ministry Institute is to train and equip students for ministry, and students have numerous opportunities to lead ministries. These are the current student-led outreaches. We believe strongly that our mission is not only to the students in each of our centers but also to the communities in which we live.
