Service Outreach
Ministry Beyond the Classroom
Putting the knowledge learned in the classroom into practice is a key part of the learning process at Living Word School of Ministry & Missions. Real-life ministry experience is emphasized in addition to regular classroom attendance.
“Faith without works is dead.” Students are trained to be doers of the Word — not hearers only.
This is accomplished through school-sponsored service and outreach activities, mission trips, and volunteer work. Students are required to earn service credits by participating in service and outreach activities throughout the year.
Missions Trips
Taking the Gospel to the Nations
In addition to taking part in local evangelistic outreaches, each student is required to join one overseas missions trip. Most trips are one week in duration. Students minister alongside seasoned ministers, gaining hands-on experience in international Kingdom work.
