A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDERS

From Pastor Travis & Dr. Jackie Greene

One of our greatest burdens is to see people discover who God has called them to be and confidently walk in that calling. We believe every believer has been commissioned, not just to attend church, but to be equipped, empowered, and sent into the world to advance the Kingdom of God.

Forward School of Ministries was born from the biblical instruction found in Ephesians 4:11–13, which reminds us that the role of the Church is to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Our heart is to raise up believers who are rooted in Scripture, led by the Holy Spirit, and prepared to serve wherever God calls them.

Whether you're pursuing vocational ministry, leading within your local church, influencing your workplace, or simply desiring to grow deeper in your relationship with Christ, this school exists to help you become everything God has created you to be. Through biblical teaching, practical ministry training, and intentional discipleship, our prayer is that you leave not only with greater knowledge, but with greater confidence to live out your faith and lead others well.

We don't simply want to educate believers, we want to equip, mobilize, and send disciples who will carry the hope of Jesus into their homes, churches, communities, and the world.

It would be our honor to invest in what God is doing in your life. If you choose to answer the call, Forward School of Ministry is committed to walking alongside you, strengthening your faith, sharpening your calling, and preparing you for every good work God has ahead!
