Hands-on Ministry
Cutting-edge ministry calls for radical leadership—leadership that’s willing to truly serve. Whether it’s by cleaning bathrooms, learning a new language, building a house, comforting an AIDS baby, finding common ground with those who oppose you or sharing the glory with a team, sincere service illustrates Christ-like love. That kind of love, when powered by the Spirit and supported by genuine humility, will always find a way through even the most insurmountable odds. It can move entire communities in new directions and influence cultures toward God.

Through various student ministry groups, missions trips and required practicums—not to mention the numerous churches in the area eager to put students to work—students have many opportunities to start “hands-on ministry” before they leave AGTS.

"The words passive and leadership cannot be used in the same sentence. Twenty-first century leaders gravitate to desperate need and global vision. As president at AGTS I'm committed to a seminary where students are lead to humbly serve and confidently trust the Spirit's empowerment."
—Dr. Byron D. Klaus, President, Professor of Intercultural Leadership Studies
