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.

This year I learned more about who God truly is, what His word truly says, and what implications that has for who I truly am. I got to process the pain, bitterness, and junk from my past with people who love me unconditionally and impartially. I got to learn what the Bible really is and God's grand story from Genesis to Revelation. I got to meet my best friends who will undoubtedly stand by me for the rest of my life. I got to pause after years of sprinting before the next big step in my life and dive head first into Truth.
