What is the School of Kingdom Ministry?
John 14:12-14
“Anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!”
The School of Kingdom Ministry
SoKM is a global ministry school designed to activate the everyday believer to live a naturally supernatural lifestyle. SoKM integrates directly into your church, giving you the benefits of local training and equipping with people you know and trust.
SoKM is built on three elements:
- Watch the Teaching together
- Your leaders run an Activation
- Practice Activity to connect what you’re learning with your community
Teaching
Strong, Biblical theology is foundational to Holy Spirit ministry. Not only does it keep us growing in the right direction, it also empowers and equips us with faith to step into things God has called us to. LEARN MORE
Activation
Our activation curriculum is full of hands-on activities that make partnering with the Holy Spirit accessible to anyone, regardless of prior experience. LEARN MORE
Practice
Exercising the skills we learn in real life settings is critical to the learning process. Every SoKM class will include practice activities that put students’ knowledge and experience to work in a ministry context. LEARN MORE

Teaching
Strong, Biblical theology is foundational to Holy Spirit ministry.
Not only does it keep us growing in the right direction, it also empowers and equips us with faith to step into things God has called us to. In SoKM, we spend the first hour of each class working through our curriculum, which includes topics like Kingdom Theology, Holy Spirit, Identity, Healing, Relationships, and more! We produce our teaching videos every year, so no matter where you attend, you’ll receive the latest most up-to-date teaching curriculum we have.
Activation
Our activation curriculum is full of hands-on activities that make partnering with the Holy Spirit accessible to anyone, regardless of prior experience.
These activities demystify the process of operating in spiritual gifts and teach ministry as a practical skill that can be learned and improved upon with practice. Our online training system ensures that leaders in every class location are fully equipped to create this empowering learning experience for every student.
Practice
Exercising the skills we learn in real life settings is critical to the learning process.
Every SoKM class will include practice activities that put students’ knowledge and experience to work in a ministry context. This includes serving the mission of the local church in existing ministry events for the whole community. Practice will grow and solidify the lessons and skills learned in class so that students will graduate with a solid foundation of experience in Holy Spirit Ministry.
