Learning Lifestyle is a continuing process. Thoughts and feelings must be centered in Kingdom values and priorities. Mind, body, and spirit must continue to learn how to filter all of life through the lens of Christ. Every course and activity seek to pursue the subject by examining course and activity content in light of the ministry of Christ as expressed in Scripture.

Every avenue of service will be presented and examined from this perspective.
Christian Maturity is at the heart of Christian leadership. Our being must be conformed to the image of Christ—to love Him with the whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. Every course is carefully designed to emphasize becoming like Christ, as well as knowing and serving Christ.
