The Institute provides an intense, focused curriculum in Bible and theology, which is then lived out in ministry opportunities and in community. A year of preparation for a lifetime of ministry, a year of foundation building, a year of developing good habits and practices, a year of deepening roots in the faith, a year of establishing lifelong friendships, a year of mentoring and being mentored, and a year of attention to loving God and loving others.
Dr. Glenn Kreider, Professor of Theological Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
I was worried that spending a year at KI would "hold me back" from pursuing the career I wanted, but the reality is that God graciously ordained that year to prepare me for the works He had ahead. God used the solid foundation of biblical instruction and strong spiritual shepherding to enhance my discipleship skills for a continued lifetime of ministry.
