Start a School of Ministry/Resource Center
in your Local Church!

Your Resource Center will help mentor, encourage, and assist your students within the context of your community and mission.

Vision International Education Network is a ministry designed to assist in the task of “equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12)”. In essence, we are here to equip the equipper to equip the saints of God. We have established an International Network of Training Centers in local churches and ministries, and are working with pastors and other national and international leaders to develop quality ministry education for their congregations and constituencies. For more than 30 years, Vision has established this extensive network serving thousands of students worldwide.

Students may work toward accredited awards with Vision International College Australia or non-accredited options with Vision International College and Seminary USA.

 
George Barna reports that only 1 in 5 (that’s 20%) of all church members actively participate in the work of the ministry.   We believe that we can help you change this statistic.
 
By partnering with Vision International, you can offer a variety of education programs from our network of colleges and universities to meet the specific needs of your church and community.
 
No longer must your men and women be sent away to be trained for ministry.

By establishing a Vision International Resource Center in your local community as an educational outreach program, you can have your own “School of Ministry” utilizing Vision’s programs and curriculum as your primary resource. When you become a Resource Center, students in your program become official distance education students of one of the colleges or universities in the Vision network, depending upon their individual needs. Students study under your local supervision, studying the dynamic curriculum developed by the VIEN Team.   The Resource Center has proven to be an invaluable tool for men and women who desire to be trained and thus develop the skills to serve the vision and mission of the local ministry.

  • The Vision International Education Network colleges and universities have degree granting authority in the United States, recognition in various nations including the Bahamas and Nigeria, and government accreditation in Australia. Vision’s programs are increasing in recognition worldwide.
     
  • Vision was founded for the purpose of developing and making available a dynamic educational and training system of high academic excellence, international in scope, and able to be contextualized to meet the specific needs of individual churches and ministries.
       
  • Vision offers local churches and ministries a “turn-key” operation for the establishment of a high-quality in-house School of Ministry operated under local leadership, with the assistance of Vision’s educational experts. We provide you with a comprehensive four year curriculum consisting of over one hundred courses to train men and women for effective service under your authority and professional mentorship.
      
  • Vision International Resource Centers make it possible for Christian leaders and workers to fulfill their aspirations of completing their education and/or receiving academic credit, all without leaving their community, family, job, or local church! This can be accomplished right from your Resource Center under the tutelage and mentorship of your leadership; leaders who best know and have a keen pastoral interest in their spiritual development. No longer does the local church need to send its young people and developing leaders off to a faraway academic institution with curricula far removed from practical ministry and the “Vision of the House”.
      
  • Our role is to assist the local church in preparing leaders for service in their church and community. We believe that the church needs flexible delivery systems such as Vision Resource Centers to accomplish the Great Commission: to teach all nations (Matthew 18).
