Vision

What you can EXPECT

WE VALUE PURPOSE OVER PREFERENCE

SLA students will learn to be Christ-like through ministry training.  Students will spend the next year learning more about how to find their purpose to serve the Church and those around them.  SLA will equip students with the ministry training and development and empower them to take ownership of every area of church life.  Students will serve in various areas, provide ideas and feedback in that area, as well as lead in some capacity in the area that they are called to.  

​

WE ARE CONTRIBUTORS, NOT CONSUMERS

SLA students will develop their leadership potential and increase their knowledge of God.  Students will get the leadership training and opportunities to develop the skills needed to contribute within the church and in the world around them.  This will be accomplished through leadership book study, live instruction, and biblical learnings. 

​

WE CHANGE THE WORLD BY CHANGING OUR WORLD

SLA students strengthen their devotion to God through the local church, chapels, community groups, and their relationships with others. Students will be discipled by spiritually mature church and academic leaders through their community group leaders. SLA equips and challenges students to be disciples of Christ, to send out and change the world one student at a time. 

​

WE AREN’T LIKE FAMILY, WE ARE FAMILY

SLA provides accountability for living a healthy, active lifestyle, growing spiritually and relationally.  During their time at SLA, students develop Christ-like character through time spent in relationships with mentors and peers, through formal and informal instruction, while serving others and the community, and while engaging in student life activities.  Character is nurtured and developed through the many relationships students will have during their training.  

​

WE LIVE OUT GENEROSITY

SLA provides opportunities for students to live out generosity through local mission opportunities to serve the community and through serving in special SOCO Church events.  Students are challenged to find ways to serve others and improve our current reach.
