Jesus’ style of training the twelve disciples did not simply consist of classroom training. They shared life together informally
Traveling as a band of disciples. To this end, each class shares some traveling experiences.

Classes are held from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday at 3000 W. MacArthur Blvd. Ste. 200 and 201, Santa Ana, next door to Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa.
Employment and
Housing
Employment Since the student joins a discipleship band, a full-time commitment is required. Thus it is not possible for students to take just a class or two. Keeping in mind that the program will be intensive, students may hold part-time jobs. The church office has a listing of employment possibilities for review and consideration.
Housing Students find housing plentiful, but a little expensive in the area

Cerficate of Completion
Upon graduation the student will be issued a diploma as a certificate of completion. We have chosen not to issue degrees.
We do not want the state or an accreditation board to tell us
what we can or cannot teach. One of the primary downfalls of Christian institutions of higher education is the desire for
worldly status. Our desire is to have students who want training
to serve the Lord, rather than to have the recognition of man.
Students coming from other schools say a special dynamic pervades the School of Ministry, because of the motivation of their
classmates.
