Our Approach
An Immersive & Unique Experience
Students will be invited into a tight-knit, community-based experience where they can thrive in their relationship with God, their peers, mentors, teachers and the local church. This program immerses students in opportunities to participate in local church life and service, and also involves regular activities that promote spiritual growth, fun, and celebration.
Practical Training for God-Given Purpose
With a learning-by-doing approach, students will be challenged to serve in the local church, work with people, and learn real leadership skills necessary for the development of their purpose and God-given gifts. The training process will be guided by real ministry leaders and mentors in the local church.
Christ-Centered Education
The Accredited Program sets students up for their future while providing a Biblically-based education at the Cottonwood campus. Cottonwood Church partners with Southeastern University, which is a regionally accredited institution based in Lakeland, Florida. This allows students at Cottonwood College to take courses that are delivered in a hybrid format of online and face-to-face at Cottonwood Church.
