Our goal is for students to graduate as leaders who are deeply committed to the Great Commission, actively serving both inside and outside the local church.

At Inspire Ministry School, students must dedicate themselves to developing a strong foundation in the authority of Scripture and pursuing a Christ-centered life with sincerity. We expect our students to be lifelong learners with teachable hearts, always seeking growth.

To thrive at Inspire Ministry School, students must embrace a mindset of excellence, striving to improve every space they enter, working collaboratively, empowering those around them, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and remaining adaptable in all circumstances.
