Local Church Based Education
Youthstorm Inc., and the Crossing Life Church and Community Center (both as members of the LIFE Alliance network) partner with BILD International and the Antioch School to provide holistic, in-house theological education and academic degree programs. We do this by utilizing in-service leadership development for ministry through our church-based context.
Vision
The vision of the Youthstorm Training Center, BILD International, & the Antioch School is to support the tremendous spontaneous expansion of the Church in the twenty-first century by raising up transformational leaders. We do this through theological education and leadership development within the context of church ministry; which maintains high levels of achievement in character, skills, and knowledge.
Degree Programs
We provide "ministry" and "theology" degree programs by distance education with local faculty at the Youthstorm and Crossing Life church campus.
The B.Min., M.Min., and D.Min. GCBTE degrees are "ministry" programs that help existing and emerging leaders be trained and recognized as part of a ministry leadership team that is one-minded in ministry vision and philosophy.
The B.Th., M.Th., and D.Min. TIC degrees are “theology” programs that help students understand thoroughly the unfolding message of Scripture itself as a guidebook for life and ministry, paying special attention to the implications of that message in one’s personal life, ministry, and culture.
Acceptance into the program comes through commendation and application - email: info@windhamcrossing.org for inquiry and access to the application.
We are happy to accept tuition assistance programs.
