Lead different.
Leadership by character, not charisma
Our immersive full-time program is designed for college-age students ready to lead from day one. Through biblical education, real ministry experience, and personal mentorship, students are formed in both character and calling.
-
Head
Every course at Joy College is built on a strong biblical and theological foundation. From Old Testament studies to practical leadership and doctrine, our curriculum equips students to know God’s Word deeply and apply it faithfully. We don’t just teach the Bible—we train you to think theologically, lead biblically, and live with gospel-centered conviction in every area of life and ministry.
-
Heart
Leadership is more than knowledge—it’s character. Through intentional discipleship, pastoral mentorship, and a vibrant spiritual community, your heart is shaped to reflect Christ. We prioritize transformation over information, forming leaders who are rooted in humility, integrity, and love.
-
Hands
From day one, you’re not just learning—you’re leading. Students are immersed in real ministry environments where they gain hands-on experience in everything from kids ministry to outreach, worship, and missions. It’s leadership in motion, where faith meets action and calling comes alive through service.
