The Kanakuk Institute is an eight-month college graduate discipleship and leadership program equipping students with the truth of God’s Word and establishing confidence in WHAT they believe and WHY, resulting in transformation from brokenness to living with freedom and purpose.
What We Do
Kanakuk Institute graduates launch into diverse careers. We train biblically sound leaders who are prepared to positively impact any area of the workforce.

Students Speak

During my time at KI, I learned rich biblical truths that I have carried forward into everyday life as a husband and (soon-to-be) father and into the medical profession. Before the Kanakuk Institute, I did not feel as though I had a strong biblical foundation. During that year, I began to read and experience and understand the Word of God as truly living and active, just as the author of Hebrews describes it in chapter 4. Scripture began to mold and shape me as I studied it.
