Pastors Greeting  

Greetings,  

Thank you for considering our ministry. The Higher Ground Vision is the most exciting ministry opportunity that I have ever had the honor of being part of.  I invite you into our unapologetic commitment to Christianity and our uncompromising commitment to excellence.  Our goal is to see you actually become fruitful in the Kingdom.

At Higher Ground you will find a new spring to refresh your soul, quicken your mind and affirm God’s specific call on your life.  We believe that your commitment is a primary means for reaching the lost.  That is why we encourage, support and challenge our students to higher levels of  commitment,  character and  ministry.  We know that as you train here your calling will be affirmed.   We will devote every ounce of energy and all our resources to the task at hand.  

Higher Ground is a school raised up by the very heart of God.  It is a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit to abide. He alone has preeminence here.  He alone will receive the glory.  He alone will hold it up with His hand and nourish the people with the fruit of His lips.

There is a burning desire within me to see God’s servants equipped with the tools needed to be relevant in ministry today.  The only plan God has provided for you is victory.  Our focus is to equip you for ultimate effectiveness and then release you into the next phase of the work.

 Our intention is that this will be the mountain top experience that  launches you into the ministry.

   All who come here will know Him, and by knowing Him they will know who they are in Jesus Christ; know what they possess in their vessels and will go forth in boldness and power, knowing who their General is: being fully persuaded that He will bring them to victory.

This school is not for everybody.  Some will think us lacking in tradition.  We agree.  Our heart is to share rich experiences with other like minded "WARRIORS IN TRAINING".   If you have always considered yourself somewhat unique then you will be blessed and strengthened spiritually at this school because we believe in you … and your ministry.  

Here are two scriptures that should touch you heart if you are called to this place:

 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. 
                                                         (1 Sam 10:26)  

   Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. (John 4:34)

Thank you for considering our college.  What is the cost to you? The cost is your life.  You must truly surrender all.

May God Richly Bless you as you continue to serve Him.
