Which Path Is Right For You?

Every calling is unique, and we encourage you to prayerfully seek the Holy Spirit's guidance as you choose the pathway that best aligns with God's purpose for your life. While Legacy School of Ministry offers multiple pathways to support individuals in different seasons, we encourage those who sense God calling them into ministry to consider the Full-Time Student pathway. It provides the most comprehensive Legacy experience, preparing students for graduation, ministry licensing, and a lifetime of faithful Kingdom service.

Full-Time Student

Answer God's call through the complete Legacy School of Ministry experience. Full-Time Students receive comprehensive biblical instruction, spiritual formation, leadership development, practical ministry training, and faculty mentorship while progressing toward graduation and eligibility for ministry licensing. This pathway is designed for those who are ready to be fully equipped for a lifetime of faithful Kingdom service.

Pathway: Graduation & Ministry Licensing

Student Auditor

Experience Legacy School of Ministry by attending classes alongside Full-Time Students in a flexible, non-graduate pathway. Student Auditors receive the same Christ-centered teaching and practical ministry insights while exploring their calling, strengthening their biblical foundation, or preparing for future enrollment as a Full-Time Student.

Pathway: Non-Graduate Enrollment & Ministry Exploration

Continuing Education

Learning doesn't end at graduation. Designed exclusively for Legacy School of Ministry alumni, Continuing Education provides the opportunity to enroll in individual courses that deepen biblical understanding, strengthen leadership, and support continued spiritual growth for every season of ministry.
