Share with Us Your Experience

Our parents are simply the best. We’d love to hear more from you about your experience as a parent of an institute student.

Dear Parent, 

The education your son or daughter will receive at the Institute for G.O.D. will prepare them for a life of service to God. Whether your child chooses to have a ministerial or secular occupation, a biblical education at the Institute provides the foundation they need in God’s Word. The Bible applies to any field of work!

Students learn how to study God’s Word and given multiple opportunities to practice it. This combination of theory, practice, and reflection matures students into ethical, kind, hospitable, and devoted adults; into mature disciples of Jesus.

Students who graduate from the Institute demonstrate dependability, honesty, integrity, a strong work ethic, and proficient communication skills. It is our prayer that these traits, formed by their knowledge of the Word and devotion to God, will follow students their entire life.

We hope to work with you to ensure your son or daughter has the best experience possible.
