The Missions Academia
In the School of Christ, At God's Service
The Missions Academy has moved to its new dedicated home at missionsacademia.com, where you will find our full suite of online courses and pre-field training. Continue below for podcasts, articles, and resources for the life of ministry.
The Academia: In the School of Christ
The Missions Academia is our training platform for pre-field and ongoing discipleship. It is a unique form of missionary training that equips our field laborers while serving any Christian who desires to grow in grace and become more useful to the Lord.
​
It is:
-
A specialized model for training in the skill and service of Missionary Church Planting.
-
An on-the-go education conducted in the ‘piazza’—in person and digitally—rather than in a traditional classroom.
We follow Jesus’ hands-on approach: teaching through the practical, daily work of planting biblical churches—including evangelism, discipleship, and elder training—while making solid, accessible training available to laborers worldwide. Whether you are a full-time missionary, an intern, or a believer desiring to grow, this training is for you.
​
