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.

Biblical Position
The Masters Guild believes without any doubt all things contained in Scripture to be true and a living letter to God’s children.
The Bible, the true story of God’s great deeds, has been written down so that we may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so believing, have life in His name (John 20:31). The Holy Scriptures have been given to us historically so that we might come to know the covenanting God and His way of doing things in creation and so that we might be able to obey Him more maturely, as adopted sons and daughters who had lost their way in the world. More specifically, we hold to the following truths:
-
This is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
-
We believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God yet distinct in function and revelation.
-
Given by a divine act at the moment of genuine repentance and faith in the sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
