It is our aim to see every student grow personally throughout the Academy year. Often students arrive unsure of what God has called them to or have simply decided that they want to give a year of their life to serving the church.
Whether you’ve a clear idea of God’s purpose for your life or you don’t have a clue – the Academy year is one of personal growth and development that at times can be incredibly challenging, but is always rewarding.
“Academy was the best two years of my life, you work hard but you actually achieve something real! With practical streams you’re actively building the Kingdom of God right before your eyes! If you want God to totally transform you, then academy is where it will happen.” — Lance Gordon
Personal Devotion
You will be encouraged to pursue God personally during the course of your studies. Your Tutors are there not to just train you in tasks but also to spend time helping you fan into flame the gifts of God within you. The greatest place this happens is in a life that is sold out for God. Your personal walk with God will be one your greatest assets throughout the Academy year – indeed throughout your life!
Pastoral Support
All our Tutors are there to provide the best pastoral care and support to our students so you will always find there is someone with whom you can connect.
We also expect all our students to be actively involved in any small groups and life group activities within the church to ensure that your year is surrounded by great friends who can encourage you to press on to see God do great things through you.
