About

The institution's strongest academic offerings lie in biblical studies, Christian ministry, and apologetics, which utilize the vibrant, culturally diverse city of New Orleans as a living laboratory for urban mission work and community engagement. On the gated, park-like campus, students enjoy a tight-knit, family-friendly community focused on collaborative worship, personal mentorship, and local outreach.
