THE
MINISTRY SCHOOL
Figuring out your plans for after high school? Consider taking a gap year at Hidden Acres, living, learning, working, and growing with us.
WHAT IS
THE MINISTRY SCHOOL?
The Ministry School (or "TMS") is a gap year program in partnership with Emmaus Bible College for college-age students interested in living, learning, working, and growing at Hidden Acres. This new partnership will allow students to take online courses from Emmaus for only $600 a class! Students will be able to receive up to 24 credits from an accredited, Christ-centered college while living and working at Hidden Acres.
The Ministry School is based on four pillars of growth: academic, spiritual, vocational, and personal. It is designed for students who either want to enter full-time ministry or are unsure of their future career plans and could benefit from an intentional year of growth before starting college or a full-time job. If you have any questions, please email Jesse Evans.
