We believe that the message of God's Word is a message for life. That's why our mission statement is bound up in five simple words: equipping servant leaders for life. Ministry is not an occupation but a lifelong obsession that overflows with both scholarship and enthusiasm. Great teachers do not communicate head-to-head, but heart-to-heart. At Shepherds, our dedicated faculty will train men and women with this kind of scholarship and passion. Equipping servant leaders for life is more than a mission statement—it is our divine occupation. . . our ministry passion.
