We have recently completed our second year of studies at Empower, and several students are graduating from the program. With that in mind, I wanted to share a few thoughts on what to expect from our graduates. These three words give us a portrait of our typical ministry school graduate.

First, they are receptive learners. We believe that learning is a skill that should be developed throughout our lifetime. Our objective is to do more than pass along information, we also endeavor to help students learn how to learn. Graduating from Empower means that not only have you gained knowledge about the Bible, life, and ministry, but you have also accelerated your ability to discover and apply wisdom.

Second, they are reflective thinkers. We believe that critical thinking is a timeless and necessary skill for success. Our world is filled with busyness and noise which makes it difficult to develop focused thinking. Through prayer, meditation, and reflective writing assignments, our students become more reflective and skilled at principle centered living.

Third, they are responsive servant leaders. We believe that purpose and mission drives positive outcomes. Our world is filled with a myriad of human need and suffering. Through service projects and biblical perspectives, our students gain empathy and express compassionate care. Our objective is that our graduates would accept responsibility to serve others in the power of Christ.

The mission of Empower NBCA School of Ministry is to train next generation Christian leaders, for the church and in the marketplace. We encourage you to consider our program to help you develop the call of God on your life.
