What Is MTS?

Advanced training that
equips, activates, and sends

One of the greatest challenges Christians face is how to actually live out the Spirit-empowered life of impact that God has called them to. The Ministry Training School is specifically designed to bridge that gap.

Through 9 courses covering the full scope of ministry, you’ll receive solid biblical and theological training — then be activated to apply it through prayer, evangelism, healing, prophetic ministry, and disciple-making in your real world context.

How MTS Works
Three foundations.
One transformation.
MTS isn’t a passive learning experience. Every session brings together three essential elements that work together to produce lasting change — not just knowledge, but transformation.
Bible study
01

Solid Word AND Spirit Foundation

A Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered curriculum built on the solid foundation of God’s Word. Every course integrates biblical truth with the active work of the Holy Spirit — equipping you to know God’s Word deeply and walk in the Spirit’s power daily.

Activation
02

Training by Activation

Every lesson includes biblical teaching, small group discussion, and practical activation. You’ll be equipped in prayer, evangelism, healing, gifts of the Spirit, and disciple-making in real life.

Community
03

Community That Sharpens

You won’t walk this journey alone. Through small groups and shared activations, you’ll grow alongside others pursuing the same calling — with built-in accountability and mutual strengthening.
