We understand the challenge in finding a Christian college that offers more than a degree.
The Masters Guild Apprenticeship Initiative is a choreographic platform that invites an encounter with God’s divine power, fueled by an intimate knowledge of His Word, and galvanized by His promises, whereby students can engage in a partnership with His divine nature (2 Peter 1:1-10).
Master Teachers
The Masters Guild Apprenticeship Initiative selects Master Level teachers* from around the world. Already leaders in their respective fields, these devout Christians share their industry expertise with a biblical and Spirit-led perspective.
* minimum 10,000 hours of experience
Life-changing Curriculum
The Masters Guild Apprenticeship Initiative is designed to cultivate character, work ethic, and spiritual maturity through relationships that are developed within a team. Being part of a team will allow students to acquire skills that cannot be taught in a classroom. Though students will continue to have classroom instruction, there will be a greater emphasis on working alongside team members within a mentoring structure of trust, commitment, attention to detail, communication, and accountability.
A Beautiful Campus
You will get to live, work, and study at the Lamplighter campus, which includes a cafe, bookstore, woods and trails, recording studio, gymnasium, printshop and bindery, plus a three-story educational building.
Individual Attention
Besides the life-changing curriculum of study, one of the main influences of the school will be the mentor relationships that you will develop throughout the day and after class.
Practical Application
You will get to work in many extra-curricular activities to grow in wisdom and excellence including culinary, printing, performing arts, marketing, landscaping, and more.
Fellowship
Build lifelong relationships with your fellow students, professors, and Lamplighter staff as you worship, minister, learn, play, eat, and celebrate together.
An Amazing Location
The Masters Guild is located in a small New York village where everything is within walking distance including the Grand Canyon of the East and only a short drive to the Great Lakes.
If you can’t attend the entire semester, you can register for single courses.
