We encourage you to consider the STEP Forward Life Institute for your community service and ministry education.”

The STEP Forward Life Institute offers two paths of learning and fulfilling the Biblical text which states: "Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved and tested ....accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth." ---2 Timothy 2:15
1.) Students can begin investing in their future by building academic and spiritual capacity through the Professional Development tract.This is where you can obtain accredited ministry certifications that will give a solid foundation for taking one's place of leadership in the community.
2.) At the same time students can begin a tract of Personal Growth and Spiritual Maturity. Although these courses are free of charge, the quality is high because the experience and wisdom of the instructors is tested and proven.
"The STEP Forward Life Institute has been in the works for 16 years," Chris and Carol Green concluded. "We believe we were being prepared all along to provide this tangible way to strengthen, equip and empower Believers to do effective works of service in their communities."
