In America today it is estimated that over 85% of teenagers who are raised in conservative Christian homes will depart from the faith within a year of leaving home. Statistics regarding morality and virtue show very little difference between believer and unbeliever. The Christian mind is all but missing from the intellectual life of our culture. We are seen as shallow, defensive, and unable to articulate what we believe or why. These should all be alarming signs that something is terribly wrong!

OUR CHRISTIAN INSTITUTIONS ARE FAILING!!

How many youth pastors and church leaders (and parents!) are there across the landscape of our Nation who are failing to adequately train young Christians? Our youth are being sent off to the lions den without the most basic understanding of how to defend themselves, much less be victorious in battle.

Our strategy:

1)      Developing a firm and godly character, with emphasis on the devoted prayer life and inward consecration

2)      Rigorous apologetical training. Developing a rationally consistent worldview, sharp thinking abilities and the tools and understanding to respond to the challenges of philosophy, science, and liberal theology with intellectual strength and argument (see Paul in Acts 17,18,19)  

3)      Evangelism and outreach. The church must be bold and confrontational in our desire to love our neighbor and to stand up for truth. Souls are going to hell, our nation is self destructing. We have the solutions and we must be diligent and zealous in taking the Gospel to the highways and bi-ways.

            Our aim is to blend these three areas together with real life experience that is often neglected in traditional four year bible colleges. We believe that rich teaching coupled with passionate application and action is the model that turned the world upside down in the first centuries of the Churches existence. And we believe that it is the model that will turn the world upside down in the 21^st century! Equipping young people to step out into a hostile world, not simply to survive, but to conquer! To be faithful soldiers of Christ! To engage in the great battle that will determine the ultimate fate not just of our communities and our great civilization but of the eternal destinies of all of human kind! We invite you to come and partake with us in this great endeavor.
