Ministry Beyond the Classroom

Putting the knowledge learned in the classroom into practice is a key part of the learning process at Living Word School of Ministry & Missions. Real-life ministry experience is emphasized in addition to regular classroom attendance.

"Faith without works is dead." Students are trained to be doers of the Word — not hearers only.

This is accomplished through school-sponsored service and outreach activities, mission trips, and volunteer work. Students are required to earn service credits by participating in service and outreach activities throughout the year.
