This season has been challenging to say the least. Understandably, many colleges are closing down. So why are we starting back up? Simply put, because we believe the world needs you.
Our mission is to develop the next generation of Christian leaders and we boldly believe that leader is you. What you’ll experience at Thrive School will change you forever. We know this from alumni. We know this from ourselves. It’s worth the hassle of facing the unknown. Showing up when it’s hard. Acting responsibly while living with purpose.
Our team is ready for you. We’re going to do Thrive School safely. We’re going to honor our leaders. And we’re going stop pushing pause on the life God’s called us to live. It’s not now or never. It’s now more than ever. Now more than ever the world needs Jesus. And we get to bring Him to them. Let’s do this.

We expect you’ll continue leading, so we’ll send you monthly encouragement to continue encountering God, risking real relationship, discovering your direction and leading.
