Local Institute, Global Reach

Beautiful Southwest Virginia

Small Cohorts with Large Vision

Located in beautiful Southwest Virginia, our institute is a private institution focused on the ministry of community development. We provide post-secondary education at the master’s degree level to complement historic, church-based discipleship.

The institute facilities provide a spacious but cozy environment for attending classes, reading in the library, and collaborating in enriching leadership events.  Through a digital curricula platform and digital library system, the institute is well equipped for providing believers across Virginia with an educational pathway that can be blended with on-site instruction, or 100% online.
