Pinecrest is a
school created for God. We are a place where the Holy Spirit is the Director
and Jesus can come, be loved, and feel at home as students freely express their
love for Him in worship and prayer.
Pinecrest is a
school of the Bible. Our classes are intended to ground students in the
Bible. We are a place for students to learn the truth of God’s Word—then live
it.
Pinecrest is a
school of ministry. We emphasize ministry as a product of a personal
relationship with God and as an expression of His burning passion for people.
Students come apart to minister to the heart of God, then go out to minister
with the heart of God: “Who makes… His ministers a flame of fire (Psalm
104:4).”
Pinecrest is a
school of leadership. We are committed to raising leaders who will stand in
integrity, speak the truth of God’s Word, and be a prophetic voice crying,
“Prepare the way of the Lord.” As a training center, Pinecrest stresses the
importance of allowing God to transform every aspect of life. Every part of
Pinecrest, from classes and chapels to dorm life and work duties, is intended to
build character—to allow God’s working to be expressed in practical living.
Pinecrest is a
place set apart. Students are called to lay aside distractions and come
apart to know God and to learn His ways—to surrender every area of their lives
to wholeheartedly pursue Him. “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin
which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set
before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2)…that I may know Him (Philippians
3:10).”
