Study programs. . .

Mokahum Ministry Center offers two study programs: a one-year discipleship certificate and a three-year ministry certificate.

The goal of the one-year program is to provide the most essential knowledge and experiences necessary to equip students with a solid foundation for life and growth as a fully functioning member of the body of Christ.

The three-year program begins with completion of the discipleship certificate, followed by two years of additional study, mentoring, and practical ministry experience. The emphasis of the three-year program is to equip students who are called to full-time ministry or who desire additional preparation for their role within a local church.

Each aspect of Mokahum Ministry Center will contribute to one of our three objectives: biblical education, ministry training, and character formation.

Biblical Education: Students will take Bible courses taught in one- or two-week modules, with only one course taught per week. Courses will be taught by visiting instructors approved by Mokahum’s advisory council. In addition to classroom instruction, all students will take part in a Bible conference each year.

Ministry Training: Besides the courses taught on ministry topics, each student is required to become actively involved in a local church body, with special emphasis on building up the Native American congregations in our area. Regular church attendance and regular involvement in at least one ministry are the minimum requirements. The staff and students of the training center also join together to take part in mission trips and local service opportunities.

Character Formation: The curriculum includes courses intended to help students in their growth as a whole person (job skills, money management, health, etc.). In addition, students are required to participate in mentor and work programs.

• Mentor program:
Each student is paired with a mentor to guide his/her spiritual development and overall personal growth. The mentor and student develop a long-term relationship through regular one-on-one interaction, prayer, accountability, and practical counsel. Mentors assist students in developing goals and in creating a plan for reaching those goals. They encourage and keep students accountable for meeting ministry and work requirements, and they help connect students with outside resources as needed—counseling, support groups, higher education, etc.

• Work program:
Everyone who enrolls at Mokahum shares in the daily chores related to the running and upkeep of the school, including cooking, cleaning, and maintenance. Students in their second or third year may also work at a job outside the school. In the future, Mokahum may develop its own student-run business.
