Envision this: In 2000 there are five million pastors and ministry leaders.  By 2050 we need ten million pastors and Christian leaders transforming the world, one person and one neighborhood at a time.

Three Priorities

The Orlando Institute seeks students who desire to equip the body of Christ to fulfill The Great Commandment (to love God with all our hearts) and The Great Commission (to make disciples in all the world). To prepare the students for future leadership and maximum influence, we have established the following three priorities:

HEART FOR GOD

At the heart of a leader is the conviction that he must be about the business of serving God. A heart fully dedicated to Jesus Christ and a will surrendered to serving Him are the foundation for ministry. A leader must walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and live a holy life. Success in ministry and in life comes through faithful obedience to God.

ACADEMIC ESSENTIALS

The student will be taught to determine truth critically, as measured by the Word of God and personal and historical experience. Knowledge and skills are most effective when flowing from a biblically grounded mind. The classes, faculty and library are the main elements for fulfilling this purpose.

FIELD MINISTRY EDUCATION

Men and women are equipped for ministry through active, supervised involvement in a church or mission setting. There is supervised personal training each week in evangelism, discipleship, leadership, communication, and community involvement. These aspects are developed in the context of a team which helps build relational skills and a unified spirit. Students may also participate in cross-cultural ministry and world missions. Ministry involvement not only allows the student to apply his or her learning, but results in classroom discussion from a real life perspective. A biblical approach leads us to such a mastery model of education.
