— A training center for the mission-minded —
If God has called you into full-time missions, you probably have a lot to consider: “How will I learn a new language and culture? Do I know enough about the Bible to teach it to others? What skills do I have to help people in need?” At Global Impact Academy, we offer two different 10-month training programs and almost a dozen weekend electives which prepare you for the challenges you’ll face on the field. We offer rigorous and robust classes, both virtually and in-person at our headquarter facilities on Schooley's Mountain, NJ, where our experienced missionaries and instructors will closely disciple, educate, and equip you for a future in full-time missions.
Program Pillars
Our first year 10-month program, led by experienced missionaries, prepares you for ministry outside your own context so you can be confident sharing the Gospel wherever you go. Our optional second year 10-month program will take a deeper look at the foundations of ministry with in-depth theology and Bible courses led by experienced professors. You'll get to take advantage of real-world experience at your church or through field internships.
