ABOUT

VISION & MISSION

The vision of the Advanced Kingdom School of Ministry is to prepare fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ for their inherent ministry to both the body of Christ and those outside the body of Christ.

The Advanced Kingdom School of Ministry will accomplish this vision by encouraging all members of Christ’s body, no matter their religious affiliation, to understand that the entire ministry of the body of Christ is built on all its members and not just a few. Further, we will provide teaching and training in the scriptures that go beyond simple understanding but transform each student to walk as Jesus walked and thus minister as Jesus ministered. Finally, we will emphasize the power of living and walking in the Holy Spirit in devotion to the Lord and one another as the only way to live the life of Jesus and accomplish the Christian mission in this age.

SCHOOL MOTTO

“. . . Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
