We have our own well-developed discipleship curriculum, and our agricultural program is set up as a place for mentoring and hands-on farm learning. Our goal is to prepare students with knowledge, experience, and professional certifications that will help them succeed in their own projects and community missions, while finding agricultural employment.
Credits are transferable towards a degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Your activities begin with participation in morning devotions and shared breakfast with our farm managers and directors.
Assisting with the operations of our permaculture, food forest, no till, hydroponic, small animal husbandry, beekeeping, marketing, and farm day event programs.
Evenings other than Tuesday and weekends are open for personal activities and participation in local church programs.
These occur on Thursday - Friday from 2:30 - 5:30pm.
One weekend a month we will organize activities such as hiking, camping, and kayaking trips.
The program is 11 months, composed of three 4-month semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer).
The cost per semester is $1,000.00, which includes housing, meals, activities, and training. The cost of the program is subsidized through farm product sales, charitable donation, and grant funding.
Students who complete the full program may receive a diploma. Students can receive a certificate for completing one or two semesters.
We have an articulation agreement with Palm Beach Atlantic University's School of Ministry. Empower credits will transfer to that program, allowing students who complete the program to earn up to 30 college credits (equivalent to one year of study at the University).
At this time, we do not have any other formal agreements with other schools; however, contact us if you are interested in having course credits apply at a specific school and our team can work with you on getting them accepted.
This program will prepare you for work or careers in the areas of conservation, environmentalism, sustainability, agriculture, community development programs, and international missions.
Some participants utilize the program to understand organic foods before entering a medical profession.
We are interdenominational and believe we must work together to complete the Great Commission. Our faith is aligned with the Lausanne Covenant.
