ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Campuses

A North campus is hosted at Living Stones Church in Crown Point, IN, and a South campus for regional meetings is hosted at Generations Church in Pearl River, LA. The School of Ministry offices are housed on the Crown Point, IN campus

Live Teaching Weekend (LTW)

To launch the school as well as halfway through, students attend a Live Teaching Weekend (LTW) from a Thursday afternoon through Sunday noon. Students will travel to our North campus for classes taught by NRP pastors and other leaders as well as powerful times of worship and prayer, impartation by the faculty, and fellowship with other students.

NRP Pastoral Mentor

For accountability and personal engagement, each student is assigned a regional NRP pastor/mentor who is part of the School of Ministry Leadership Team. 

Outreach

Students participate in local, community outreach or a summer mission trip. 

Courses

Topical, self-paced, online video courses are taught by NRP pastors as well as a comprehensive, independent study, Bible Survey course covering all 66 books of the Bible.

Regional Cohort

A regional cohort where the student will enjoy getting to know other students at a deeper level as they progress through the school together. Cohorts will meet on a Saturday at a North/South campus twice throughout the year.

Ministry Lab

Ten hours of practical ministry lab credits are earned each month while serving in the student's local church under the oversight of their pastor.

Associate Degree

An Associate Degree in Church Leadership will be awarded at the successful completion of the program.

We’re excited about this training tool the NRP is offering! If you have been looking for a way to be taught and mentored by seasoned, spiritual fathers and pastors who have given many years of their lives to ministry, don’t miss being part of this strategic opportunity!

Attendance Policy

For a student to get credits awarded and the maximum impact from the quarterly, in person, weekend events, attendance at both Live Teaching Weekends (LTW's), the two Saturday regional cohort gatherings, and graduation is required. If a student finds that they cannot attend one of these gatherings midway through the school year, they will be asked to put a "pause" on their attendance at the school, and the credits they have already earned will be retained. Students may then reapply to the school the following year to continue their studies.
