The Atmosphere
At GVSKC our goal is to create an intimate environment that feels like family while making the presence of God our focus. Passion, purity, power and love of the presence of God are our main priority. These values define our atmosphere and are manifest in our worship, ministry and relationships with each other.
GVSKC is a Holy Spirit-driven school where students learn how to live in the Kingdom of God and extend its borders through a supernatural lifestyle. Some of GVSKC's core values are identity, risk, honor and the goodness of God. One way this happens is through the joining of generations together and teaching every age group to value and serve one another.
GVSKC focuses on teaching, empowering, and activating radical believers to walk in the fullness of their destiny. We use the life of Jesus as a model for ministry: “I tell you the truth, 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.” (John 14:12)
"I remember how we had a small group and Jeremy went around the circle with another leader telling us we are IMPORTANT. Time has past and I still believe it. That has impacted my life greatly."

What to expect
The Grand Valley School of Kingdom Culture is where students have the opportunity to pursue and discover their place in global revival. Our goal is to equip students to live vibrant lives, reigning in every part of life. We do this by encouraging students to step out in risk, putting the promises of God’s word into practice, as well as teaching personal development and a strong foundation in the gifts of healing and the prophetic.
GVSKC also allows for an amazing opportunity to learn from fellow students who come hungry for more of God’s presence and power. Students continually encourage one another creating an environment of great courage and momentum, calling each other higher into all that God has planned for them.
Throughout the year, students have opportunities to connect, take risks, and grow through Small Groups, Outreaches, Revival Groups, and Mission Trip opportunities. Students also have monthly reading assignments, homework, supernatural outreach challenges, and Bible study goals. They will also receive live teaching from our staff pastors and many guest speakers.
GVSKC is an amazing opportunity to immerse all of your life in the fire of His presence with a company of people that are burning with the same passion. It is an investment into your intimate connection with your loving Father, and your place in worldwide revival. It is the cultivating of a supernatural family that, together, are equipped to arise, shine and give the world an encounter with the manifested presence of Jesus.
Class schedule: Monday & Tuesday evenings from 6:00 – 9:30pm
GVSKC has many powerful guest speakers throughout the year but the primary teaching is accomplished through our staff members. Students learn in an intimate environment on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm-9:30pm as well as outside of the classroom in small groups and outreaches. GVSKC students learn how to reign in life through discovering their identity, practicing His presence, preaching The Kingdom, healing the sick, prophetic ministry and so much more.
Academic Life
GVSKC emphasizes hands on training and experience along with academic understanding. This creates a “teach and do” culture where all of the students are expected to take risks to stretch their faith and grow in their understanding of God.
The class hours are learning opportunities with the instructors but they are just a small part of the learning experience. The other hours consist of learning through homework, reading, attending services, serving on ministry teams, soaking & prayer times of personal devotion, living the supernatural lifestyle in an honorable way at work, and more.

Students in GVSKC should feel free to date while attending. We have chosen to teach our students how to maintain healthy relationships and live in purity.
