What is MDS?
The Ministry Development School (MDS) is a two-year journey designed for those who are serious about following Jesus into deeper obedience and greater responsibility. It’s an opportunity to further pursue missions and allow God to shape every part of who you are for the sake of His kingdom.
At its core, MDS is about character development and application: growing into a leader who doesn’t just know how to serve but knows why they serve. Whether you're stepping into local outreach, pioneering a new ministry, discipling others, or leading a team into the nations, MDS exists to stretch, refine, and strengthen you.


Why do MDS?
We believe leadership begins with character. That’s why MDS goes deeper than skill-building — it’s about discovering how your personal walk with God influences everything you do. Grow in being dependable, teachable, and spiritually grounded so that what you build with God lasts and creates an impact beyond you! You’ll be challenged to grow beyond comfort and step into maturity, through mentoring, input from experienced leaders, and hands-on experience in ministry. Because when God calls someone to lead, He calls them to serve—and MDS is where you learn to do both well.
