Housing
The Kanakuk Institute is located in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Branson, Missouri.

Students also enjoy the student life on the Institute’s 8-acre campus.2018 Graduate
Fundraising
Once you complete your student enrollment, we encourage you to begin planning and saving for your tuition at the Institute.
If you plan to raise financial support for the program, you are asking people to partner with you in your ministry. Many students each year build incredible relationships and find unique ministry opportunities through the fundraising process. If you have never raised support before, check out our Support Raising Guide to help get you started. Also, below are sample budgets, a database to track donors, and support letters and newsletters. Feel free to use any of these to help in this process.
Internship
Kanakuk Institute students will have the opportunity to serve in the community by completing an internship or practicum for five hours a week, a total of 175 hours for the year. Students pursue, explore and advance their vocational pursuits while practicing the many Biblical discipleship skills they are learning at the Institute.
The Institute staff works with students to choose a practicum that will best fit their goals. Most internships are determined once you arrive in September.
If you are hoping to do a specialized internship, please contact Julie Brinkman at julie@kanakukinstitute.com.
Bible Reading Plan
To prepare you for your time at the Kanakuk Institute, we have created a simple Bible Reading Plan for you to build consistency and learn more about the Inductive Bible Study Method. Sign up to receive weekly emails and read through the book of Luke with us!
